only dumb thing is once it fires it disengages, so cold starting is a bit of a mish, ie might fire on 1 or 2 cylinders but not hold and die, starter disengages, so you literally have t re-try a couple of goes
needed gas and some kick-down fine tuning but is all go
to do list now includes
service good 20/50 oil
Axel pack (rear brakes leaking
and a cube of stop leak , saw at least one pinhole inradiator once it got warm

Jared DO NOT use that inertia starter in your auto...it's the wrong type and will munt your ring gear...and it's own gear too!!
Your ring gear is designed for a pre-engaged starter (with the solenoid built in) that pushes the gear into mesh from the front and the ring gear has a front chamfer to lead the gear into mesh.
An inertia starter spins the gear into mesh from the rear, so needs a rear chamfer to lead the gear into mesh, in other words the ring gear is fitted the other way around.
I think James in Waipukurau would have a pre-engaged starter or plenty at Smash Palace. Hillman and Chrysler Avenger pre-engaged starters are the same.
then I saw this on the internet / Facebook whilch rung my bell so I thought I'd share here

Picton (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Picton-New-Zealand/104027189632936)Hi guys, im doing a engine swap in my super minx removing the tired 1725 and replacing it with a better conditioned 1600.
We noticed the fly wheel ring gear is a little chewed does anyone know how much life is left on this? Is it worth puttibg back in? Also if i was to replace it is it ok to just to attached new ring gear to this fly wheel? I have read conflicting advice. . The fly wheel itself is in good condition. I am planning on getting the started overhauled or replacing it too. Its made a couple of grinding sounds in the past but not to many.. thanks in advance for the advice it is very much appreciated :)

so there you go that's the result I would have ended up with
sure some of you have seen this before but for us' youngun' worth a look / post I reckoned :P
(I only just realised you needed to twist the chock to hold it out last month after nearly 20 years of Avenger ownership, either that or I learnt & forgot it somewhere in between)
