What can you do if the starter does not make contact with the flywheel on a 1976 Chevy 350?

Small block 350's came with different size flywheels therefore 2 different noses on the starters. Most blocks have have holes to accomodate both. For a 12.75 inch flywheel you will need the starter with a straight across bolt pattern. Gm part #10496870. The other flywheel which is 14" will take the staggerd mount GM part #1876552. I have 1977 Nova with a350 with a 12.75" flywheel. I've replaced the starter once so I know.
AnswerIncorrect starter, or bendix bad. Just take it to NAPA and either have them rebuild it or buy a new one. usually pretty cheap and a GOOD investment. AnswerI see the posibility that the flywheel is damaged....is the starter turning in a free mode? remove the starter and see if there is metal debris and observe if the teeths show indications of being shorter that the next one on the flywheel...maybe if you remove some of the shims between the starter and the block, it can get the starter closer to the flywheel and solve the problem. I have seen instances of people welding a tack on the teeth that are worn out... carefully grinding down to restore proper volume of the metal loss. Otherwise is recommended to remove the engine and replace the flywheel. It is the best alternative.Try this...turn the pulley by hand about a 1/4 of a turn and then with the switch activate the starter...if the engine engages and starts...you identified a flat spot is present on the flywheel.! also the engine may make a one turn and find the bad spot and start free turning...it means that you founf the same flat spot. Good luck. AnswerThere are 2 - 3 different types of starters out on the market for the 350. 1 of them has offset bolt holes. By this I mean.. one bolt is longer then the other one.. and so is the actual shaft for the bolt. I suspect you have the wrong starter for your vehicle. It seems as if you got the starter that has the SAME Length bolt holes. You need the offset starter to make it get closer to your flywheel. I suggest buying a new starter that goes to that vehicle make.. If its not the factory engine.. go with a 84 truck starter or around that area.. mainly you will be looking for the "Off-Set" bolt holes on the starter.. hope this helpsWiki User

Why does the starter move after you installed it on a 1976 Chevy 1 ton truck?
Assuming you are using the correct bolts for that application, the starter may require shims to align it to the ring gear properly. Originally besides the two bolts on the nose of the starter it would have also had a bracket attached from the front of the starter to the engine block.
