I have a 307 with a TH350 tranny...the starter bolts to the block, not the bell housing with two correct bolts. ( I doubt if it is mounted differently for a stick shift, but I could be wrong) Did you check the gap between the starter gear and the flexplate gear? Use a paper clip as a guage to check the gap. If it is too loose or tight the outer or the inner starter bolt gets shimmed....I don't remember which bolt it is, but search it on this forum.

BTW?..couldn't tell by the video / sound clip....I have crappy hearing.
