Starter trouble - anyone have advice?
I recently purchased a 66 Chevelle. Sometimes when I crank the starter, I hear the solenoid click but the starter motor doesn't turn. I crank 3-5 times and it starts (and sounds good). Sometimes the starter won't turn at all...the solenoid just clicks forever. I tried shimming it thinking that would solve my problem. But now it whines before the engine finally turns over...which makes me think I have the starter shimmed too close to the flywheel. The flywheel shows proof of this now with slightly worn teeth. Anyone have advice?
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
