Sounds
like either the flywheel or the bendix gear is
bad.
I have
never used starter shims, and have to wonder if they could be what caused
something to wear down in the first place.
On a
350, if the starter bolts up, it will work. I really don’t think the year
matters. My block is a 1958 283 and my TH350 is from a 70 Chevelle. The HEI is
from a Blazer. The starter is from Lord knows
what.

I chased a
similar problem and found that the flywheel was plain worn down . I
checked all wires , solenoid tested good. Another problem
with a different car had a broke bendix inside the starter.

Morning......
Looking
for some help, advice on my problem. I fianlly got my Chevelle out of
the garage for a test drive and ran great. Went to re-start and got some
chattering , tried again and started up. Back in the garage for more
work went to start and same thing again. Originally I had shimmed it up
, but then removed one of the 3 shims bolted it back in , started fine
and then a few days later same thing again. The engine Iam running is a
350 from a '77 Chevy pickup. I put in a new battery thinking that was
the problem, started great again and then back to this chattering. By
chattering I mean as if the starter gear was just nmissing the flywheel.
But its interminet, I checked my flywheel it shows signs of scraping. I
purchased starter sheild thinking it was overheating the solenoid . Then
bought a hot shot kit putting the solenoid on the firewall like the old
Ford had , thats not installed yet. Today I will attempt to take out the
other 2 shimms and see if that moves it closer to flywheel. Few of my
questions is how do I measure the teeth on the flywheel under the car ??
Are starters different other than the nose ?? And is it possible this is
not the right starter for this engine ? Originall I din't know what the
engine came out of so we were using a starer from a Monte Carlo, Camaro
350 engine as a reference. But later found out the it came from a 77
Chevy Pickup. Would I need to get a starter that matches that year and
cubes ?? You guys are the best so thats why I come here for
help.......thanks much
