QuickTime scattershield
Has anybody used this scatter shield on a 1966 L72 with the factory starter?

I'm thinking it will work but they don't explicitly say it will work. It says it's OK for 168 tooth flywheel and up to 11" clutch.
They say universal fitment but the 444 bell housing on 1966 was unique(?)
So, I'm thinking getting rid of the 444 bell housing and using this scatter shield makes the starter fit in there "easier"?
Bottom line, I"m wanting to use this scatter shield with the factory staggered bolt pattern starter.

Is there a reason you chose this Scatter shield.
I can sell you a used Lakewood for $350 with block plate and hardware.
A stock starter will fit and work

I installed one on a ‘69 Camaro with a 427 in it. Worked fine with factory starter and then a gear reduction mini-starter. All 168 tooth flywheels on V8 engines had staggered bolt style starter unless it was bellhousing mount. Planning on racing the car? If not, I’d do a clutch and steel flywheel and run stock bellhousing. That’s the plan on my restomods ‘64 at least. I have a Lakewood on my small block ‘69 Camaro, but it gets beat on more and at a higher rpm than I envision the Corvette.

I agree with always checking the run out but that is one of the nice things about QuickTime - they have a reputation for high quality and typically being centered right out of the box. I have a QT on my Cobra and it checked out fine for my Toploader. Of course if you have to run a pilot bearing to maintain an aftermarket transmission warranty, it’s possible it may need a little fine tuning.

The Quick Time bells are really well made. The run out was fine but it did need an offset dowel to be perfectly centered . This tool is awesome
