Read the full description:

"Will not work on any of the original cast iron transmissions from the 1950’s"

Location: Muskego, WI		It couldn't possibly work with all those engines as the number of teeth on the torque converters and flywheels varied throughout the years, a detail I learned the hard way when looking for a starter for my 354 Hemi.

The tooth count isn't the only reason it won't work on stock installations, that starter is configured to fit the later aluminum transmissions and will only work when an adapter is used to mate those transmissions to the early motors.
