Sounds like you need to adjust your shift linkage. On the starter part, I seem to recall some way of getting the gear to extend out to mesh with the flywheel without turning over. If you can do that, you should be able to get a paper clip in between the starter gear and flywheel. .050", if I recall. If you don't have that amount of clearance you will need to add or remove shims as necessary to get it.
