Starter pinion not close enough to the flywheel
I have a recently purchased 69 corvette convertible, solid driver. It has a 383 NOM. It appears it is from a 70 - 75 Chevy, maybe newer. The new HI Torque starter I just purchased is supposed to be .1 to .140 inches away from flywheel at rest, (not the mesh gap distance). It is about .350. One other stock motor appears also to be about that far. The starter I removed was father than that and made a loud noise when I first stated it. Clearly too far away.
Is there a 350 that requires a longer starter nose to get closer to the flywheel.
Any ideas.
thanks
