The ring gear is mounted correctly from what I can tell. You can plainly see the beveled edge I was refering to that should be facing the starter. The other side of my ring gear does not have this beveled edge which indicates to me it is not reversible. Based on my observations of the ring gear off my car it also looks like there is a small angle build into the teeth. If you reverse the ring gear and re-install it, the teeth would be at the wrong angle to engage the starter. Between the angle of the teeth being off and the teeth not being beveled adds up to bad news if someone reverses the ring gear on a Jensen Healey. Like Greg has already pointed out, I do not see where you have identified or explained exactly what kind of starting problem you are having. Could you tell us more about your starting problem?
Maybe it's just not getting enough coffee in the morning? Or, maybe the coffee isn't strong enough?
