starter problem

[chris91]

first question. Are all automatic flywheels 168 tooth. I used the flywheel from an 85 chevy c10 when I changed my 327 to automatic. I m having problems with starters lasting less than a year. Staggered bolt pattern starter.

Any help would be appreciated. Do you think the problem could be I need to get a new instead of rebuilt starter. I am thinking about going to LKQ and getting an old original starter.
