I have a 94 5-speed in my 65 fastback. To start with I bought the motor and trans together. I did not get the starter with it. So all of the components are for this set up.
My problem is that the starter I have borrowed hits the flywheel when I try to start it. I forgot what kind of car the starter came from but I did check to see if it was the same part number as the 94 starter at Autozone.com. The starter does have a wear mark in the housing near the bendix gear. My olny guess is the starter is out of wack some how. I even compared the starter to a new one at the store and with a scale and they appear to be the same starter.
I first thought maybe the gear is spinning to fast before it has a chance to engage the flywheel. I thought this because I am trying to start it with two soleniods. One on the car and one on the starter. I tried every combo of wire hook ups to get it to start, but no luck.
I have looked into the 65 starter and it won't even fit in the bell housing. It also seems that the starter for an auto car and a standard car are the same for 94. The 94 starter has 10 teeth. I have not counted the flywheel. From the rubbing mark on the flywheel it should engage.
Anyone have an answer? I would hate to spend $90 on a new starter and have it do the same thing. thanks
