Why does the starter in a 1979 Chevy with a 350 small block grind sometimes or not engage into the flywheel too?

This can be caused by a worn flywheel, or a bad starter drive. You'll need to remove the starter and look at the flywheel to see which is bad.

Will any Chevy starter fit both 168 and 153 tooth flywheels?
No. Chevy uses a number of different noses for their starters. The size of the flywheel and year and model of engine determine what nose is needed.

If you want to use a starter from a 168 tooth flywheel on a 153 tooth flywheel the nose from the smaller flywheel starter will have to be exchanged onto the larger flywheel prior to using it.
