I don't know about the bugeye ring gear, but I took my flywheel to my local 
racing machine shop where they took off the ring gear and reversed it to expose 
unused teeth. That was at least a couple of years and many driving miles ago 
and it works perfectly.  Mine is a '79 1500.  When I had it done, I received 
several replies from the list that you couldn't do it, but that has been proven 
false by experience.  You CAN do it on the 1500.  Maybe you can't on the 
948-1098-1275 flywheels.
