Hi gang, starter went on my '71 Chrysler 85hp O/B. So I have the new
one in there, but should I grease up 9 tooth gear that strikes the
flywheel? And with what? Or should I not worry about it? I fear
grease would collect debri and make matters worse. Just that my dad
said on the phone to grease something up. Wuh?

If it was me I wouldn't grease it. Your flywheel or flexplate will
pick up the grease and throw it all over the place.
The starter gear doesn't engage for very long during an engine start.
