Got another starter and tryed playing with shims. A few days later needed another flexplate and starter. Put it backtogether with no shims. Lasted about a month and started grinding again. Starter gear was worn out again with some wear on flexplate also. Took the starter back and decided to see if we could figure out what was going on. Thats when we realized the starter was for an 86. Had the parts guy look up a starter for a 70 camaro. The starter looked exactly the same but had a different part number. I bought that starter and bolted it on and its been on there for the last 10 years.
