Correct Starter

The starter on this '70 K5 I just got sounds like the running gears of hell when I start it.......I shimmed it so far about 3/64 (.048) and it still sounds bad....

I'm wondering if it's the wrong starter...perhaps for a different tooth count flex plate...or just a junk, box store unit?

What is the correct flex plate for this motor...153T or 168T.......350/350turbo with staggered starter mount holes ?
