The starter configuration on a 1976 Chevy van typically includes a starter motor mounted on the engine's bell housing, connected to the battery via heavy gauge wires. It features a solenoid, which is often mounted on the starter itself, that engages the starter gear when the ignition key is turned. The system also includes a relay and a wiring harness that connects the ignition switch to the solenoid. Overall, it's a straightforward setup designed for reliability in starting the engine.
On top of the starter - looks like a juice can
On a 1987 Chevy El Camino, the starter is located on the passenger side of the engine, mounted to the bell housing of the transmission. It is positioned near the bottom of the engine, close to the transmission pan. To access it, you may need to lift the vehicle and remove any obstructions like the exhaust or heat shield, depending on your specific configuration.
I believe it is like all chevy's 18436572
You have to take off the air filter and the starter has like two bolts holdin it in
Sounds like a bad connection on the starter. Unhook the battery cables and then take the starter down and LOOK at the starter wires and make sure there tight and not touching each other.
it has 1 short bolt and 1 long bolt
It is on the passenger side underneath the exhaust manifold and likely has a heat shield around it so, it may not look like starter.

sounds like you forgot to put the correct shims in when starter was installed
I don't know what model or engine you have but if you follow the positive battery cable from the battery, it will lead you right to the starter.
tighten the nut from the starter to the solenoid
