Grinding Noises
Yesterday I couldnt get the truck to fire up and run. I found out that the previous owner jerry rigged the hei distribtor up so I respliced all the wire and then I got it running. Now I went out to try to start it up it is making a grinding noise when i try to start the truck. I tightened up the battery terminals up, and it seems to still be grinding any ideas?

Re: Grinding Noises
Cut back on the cafeinne?I`d check the starter.May need shimmed if it`s not loose.Could be a mismatch,too.Or,a damaged gear ring on flywheel/torqur plate.

Re: Grinding Noises
Make sure that the solonoid is de-energized after the truck starts.
