    Well, turns out Budget36 was right about my starter problem, my ring gear's chewed up & missing some teeth, so the starter wasn't spinni g the engine...... Looking up new ring gears, and there's info & prices all over the place.... I've heard the part is the same for all flathead sixes between 34 and 59, then, there's people saying no, the 46-49 Dodge is unique.... Do any of the experts out there know the interchangability for sure? It's a stock 48 Dodge 230 flathead six with Fluid Drive.... I've seen prices from NOS for 150, all the to 18 bucks on Rock Auto, if they still work on a 58-59..... Thanks in advance for any help!

    You'd be way ahead if @Moriarity will move this to the main board...

    he's looking for the ring gear, not the starter.

    hollanders says 41-55 dodge car fluid drive is one part number, but not the later ones.
