Starter problems
Ok recently the starter on my 383 went out, so i removed it and went down to Napa and got the replacement but now when i turn the key it just makes a clicking noise and after determining that it was not the battery im not sure of the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated

starters from napa and such, are rebuilt and not new, so you might have gotten 1 that dosen't work cause what failed wasn't fixed, it happens with starters, alternators too.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

If the battery is fuuly charged, I'd next look at the cable connections and make sure they are tight, clean and not worn or frayed.Ken Thomas

Make sure if your ground cable runs to the block it must have a good,clean connection.

Thanks for all the help but the problem was that I did not recognize that i had a remot starter setup
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
