Help!!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know the CORRECT starter for a 1969 GMC, 402 bb? Long story short; I think they keep giving me the wrong starter. The cone just isn't long enough. No matter how much a shim it, it doesn't engage the flywheel enough. I keep eating up the bendix in the starters and the nose cone broke once (may be a separate issue.) I pulled the inspection cover tonight and the teeth aren’t being engaged enough – only about halfway. I DO need a new flywheel as well, but the wear & chips was only on the front half of the teeth. . . Any help would be greatly appreciated.
