Well, in addition to the pleathora of other stuff that the car needs done to it, I can now add either a starter (I hope) or a new flexplate

I just went to run to the store, the car started normally, but stalled when dropped in gear, (happens if the car isnt warmed up). I tried starting the car again, and there was a grinding from the bellhousing as the starter and flexplate teeth stripped. Right now the starter will spin and you dont hear any teeth engauging, and the engine wont turn over.
Joy.
Guess where I'll be Thursday Morning? BTW how hard is it to get a starter off with long tubes?

J
BTW part deux:
Cant you use a late model (ie fox "high torque") starter? if that is the problem, god willing.
Is there any special wiring required?
