they didnt start making the beretta until 1987.
Did you use the starter from the 85 model engine?? If you did then it is the wrong one for the early model engine, And you will need to get a starter for a 77 model engine, and it may still need to be shimed. And yes GM did make 2 different fly-wheels but that is not your problem.
i have 85 cavalier how you get key cycliner out
The starter on a 85 Cutlass is replaced by disconnecting the battery, unbolting the starter, disconnecting the wires at the starter, and removing it from the vehicle. The new starter is then wired up and bolted to the engine block.
why does your 85 Chevy give you problems when it rains
Yes. It may be bigger but it will bolt on.
connected to the starter
take off the dog house and its right there.
what is the body being changed too?
what are the torque specks for 85 Chevy s10 with a 2.5 engine
A way to tell is by the sound the motor makes. If it is winding slowly with no force it could be going out. If it skips or whines without action it is out.
Two bolts hold the starter to the block. There may also be a brace on the other end of the starter.
no you can't do it.
