The flywheel from an engine standpoint is used to balance the Crankshaft and keep it moving through centrifugal force.

From a transmission standpoint, it used as a mounting point for the clutch (manual transmissions) or the torque converter (automatic transmissions) and aids in the transfer of power from the engine to the transmission and down the rest of the drivetrain.

Will any Chevy starter fit both 168 and 153 tooth flywheels?

No. Chevy uses a number of different noses for their starters. The size of the flywheel and year and model of engine determine what nose is needed. The 153 tooth flywheel is smaller in diamaiater than the 168 tooth flywheel. If you want to use a starter from a 168 tooth flywheel on a 153 tooth flywheel the nose from the smaller flywheel starter will have to be exchanged onto the larger flywheel prior to using it.
