Hi everyone! First time user,so bear with me.
In my 68 GTCS (standard shift)I have a '77 302 block,a flywheel for 10" clutch with '66 Mustang part #(C6Z etc.)and an aluminum bell housing with C5DA etc. part #. The problem seems to be that the starter does not fully engage depth wise on the flywheel gears.It worked for awhile but eventually ruined the starter and flywheel teeth.Is there a starter with a longer snout I should be using? Help would be appreciated. Thanks
