Alright, I'll get under there and see what I have. The starter I have now is for a 350 engine and a 400 tranny. It got me closer to the flywheel but I'm still 3/16 inch from the starter shaft to the flywheel teeth. I read that the clearance needs to be 1/8 inch. I might try a shim under the outer bolt. I have the offset bolt pattern, not sure if my block has three bolt holes or two. I'll check it out.

One last question, do you need to pull the engine to change out the flywheel?

Thanks,

Scott
