Flywheel tooth count

Does anybody know off hand the tooth count for a manual transmission 4 speed? Its from a 68 F 250 with a 302 bolted on. Im trying to find a starter that will fit and not drag. This starter cannot be shimmed so is there another way to stop it from dragging?

F Series Trucks:

302 engines were not factory installed in F250's until the 1980's.

302 engines were not available with 4 speed manual transmissions until the 1980's.

The number of flywheel teeth is specific to certain engine sizes.

Examples: 1969/72 302 3 speed manual: 164 teeth / 1965/67 352 & 1968/76 360/390: 184 teeth.

The flywheels bolt circle pattern pertains to whatever the size of the pressure plate is.

Examples: 1969/72 302: 12 3/8" / 1965/67 352 & 1968/76 360: 12 3/8" / 1968/76 390: 12 7/8"

The transmission itself has nothing to do with it.

remember on those 302s you have the long and the short nose starter. I got into trouble once with that.
