Starter Problems
Having trouble with the starter on the 383 in my 69, the starter sounds fine while cranking but when the motor fires and runs the starter drive stays ingaged in the ring gear for a few seconds after releasing the key.
I tried a new starter and it does the same thing, I have tried shimming the starter out but it still does it, any ideas?

COULD BE A BAD PITCH ON THE TEETH ON THE FLEX PLATE...
a little drag is normal...if it stays more than a few seconds thats bad..... they do make bad flex plates,, i had one in the 638... lucky i figured it out before i got it totaly put together... had to slide the trans back to change

I bypassed the ignition switch and that wasnt it.
rage'nrat, you may be right, the teeth look good on the flexplate but I have had trouble ever since installing this engine and have allways blamed the starter.

My vote is flexplate/flywheel.
