video of my 79 starting problem?

I have put in a new starter, the last one died, I am suspecting something killed it.... Listen to this new starter, does it sound like something is wrong? Maybe the wrong flexplate is in there? It's a staggered 2 bolt mounting starter. (350/350) Maybe I need to shim my starter? I did shim it out about 1/16th and it didn't sound any different, so it has no shims in it right now. Ever hear this before? It just seems like something is holding the engine back and in turn creating a heavy load for the starter. Also the battery is new and has a good charge. Hear any other noises I should look into also? All comments welcome as I am just learning and trying to get this truck together. Thank You
