[Chevelle-list] STARTER

[tech]

A high pitched whine during cranking, before the engine fires, can be caused
by the pinion and flywheel being too far apart - too much shim.
 
A whine after the engine starts, as the key is released, is often a result
of the pinion-flywheel relationship being too close.
 
In both cases flywheel damage can occur...  Remove the starter and turn the
flywheel over by hand and inspect the teeth.  Worst case - you may have to
replace the flywheel.

I have a 65 Chevelle, 327 4 speed, and having trouble with the starter
engaging the flywheel. It starts most of the time, but every once in a while
the gear will hit the flywheel and not engage. We have shimmed the starter
and  doesn't seem to help. We have changed the shim several trying different
settings with no change in the problem.
 
At first we thought it was electrical problem, changed the switch, new
cables and even redid the wiring to starter, no help. It is getting full 12
volts to starter.
 
Does any one have any ideas as to what I can do to fix the problem?
 
Thanks Darrell
