Looking for some help. The pinion gear on the starter stopped engaging the flywheel. Replaced the starter on the assumption the pinion gear teeth had become worn and could no longer make contact. Problem is still there...started up fine on the first try after I put the new starter in but after that the starter turns but not the flywheel. Any thoughts? I assume the teeth on the flywheel can get worn as well. Anyone know how long the teeth are supposed to be? Oh, and it's a 70 K5 with a 350.

Thanks,
Steve
