which flywheel are you using a 157 or 164 tooth wheel? Might be the wrong one in there which would push against the starter.

:Hi. I have not posted much since 9-11. We pulled a good fly wheel and replaced the old worn fly wheel in my 302. After a new starter was put in, it works. The first time to hear the engine run. 302 and sounds sweet! Obviously has a nice little cam, and supposed to be board out close to a 351? Any way..

:The starter makes a loud noise. Not grinding, its hard to explain. But it is like a regular starter, just VERY loud. The engine has a history of wearing out flywheels, and I think this is the third one. on the old one, the top of the teeth are shiny like the starter hits it tight, and one side has about five teeth worn down, give or take a few.

:I dont want to make a life time of changing fly wheels, so what do you think is wrong.

:My dad called the ford house, and he thinks he has the right one. The engine is out of an 82 ford 100 truck, but I dont know if it is origional.
