starter flex plate problem? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck 71 small block 200r4 has had problems starting since I bought it. It sounds terrible like the starter and flex plate to not match up correctly. I tried to shim the starter but it did not help. The starter looks new, the teeth on the flex plate look pretty good, there is some wear on some of the teeth but nothing major. It has 168 teeth on the flex plate and 9 teeth on the starter. Do I have the wrong starter?
