Starting Issue - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Have a 1970 c10 with a 1985 305 (found out after I bought it and working on 383 to put in it). In the past week or so when the truck is cold when I try and start it it sounds like its binding. If I am patient and try a few times it finally starts and runs normal. If i cut it off and start again no issues.

I did a new starter about 8 months ago (pmrg for a 96 tahoe), has 1/0 cables for the battery and starter, battery is less than a year old. checked timing 15 initial, 37 total when i did the starter but can recheck. The starter has been in and fine until all of a sudden. Think potentially the starter is just going out?

Recorded a video to show what I am talking about and uploaded it to youtube to make sharing easier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zH4UXapFVg
