Reference catalog C&G Early Ford Parts page 140. The '32 to '53 ford part number is B-11350 10, except automatic, 10 teeth. "51 to '53 ford part number !CM-11350 for V8 with automatic. Question, how many teeth on this one and what is the diameter?

The standard shift gear is appox 1.550 dia.
The automatic is appox 1.150 dia.
The drive will NOT interchange as the dia's are different as well as the gear tooth size.

I believe the gear diameter may be different but it is the new style bendix and the automatic starter has a different length shaft. The starter ring on the early Borg Warner/Ford automatic is pretty big. I've seen where some folks use the late style bendix on the standard trans starters but some have had trouble getting them inside there. The late style bendix is a bit larger in diameter. I don't think they are the 1CM part type either. Ford used the later type bendix for a long time after introduction but there may have been several different types for different applications. This is a link to the one I'm referring to.
