Starter shims on a Chevy..yes...on a Ford??? Never heard of them and I have had and built Fords since the 60s. I would have to agree with the comments about gear teeth, although, if I recall correctly there was a shorter and longer nose. I believe the manual trans had a different nose than the auto...I think it's the manual one that's longer. I have little faith in the current parts store system, their computer software is very poor and spotty. I went to get a marker light for my '89 GT(maybe a signal bulb) that was a push in bulb, they looked it up and gave me one for an older style. When I presented him with the one from the car for comparison, he shrugged his shoulders and said"that's what the computer calls for"...well the car must have been built wrong if that's what the computer said,LOL. I'll look up in my older interchange book and see what is listed.
