Welcome Judd... Another thing to look at is the clearance between the
flywheel teeth and starter teeth...
If the clearance is too tight, the solenoid will not disengage...this is
a VERY common problem when
replacing starters... I'd just read a couple of articles on this on the
www.chevelles.com forums recently.
All you need to do is pick up the shim at an autoparts store..they go
between the starter and the block,
which moves the started down very slightly and away from the flywheel...

Hello all. I'm new to the list. I have a 66 Malibu Convertable with a
slight problem. I replaced my starter and it worked fine. I started it up
3 or 4 times after the installation. Today I went to start it and the
started would not disengage. It just kept on trying to start itself. I'm
thinking the solinoid. Any thoughts or similar experiences?
Thanks
