its definatly the starter, no bones about it. ive got a 350 block (between 75-81 im not sure) and an 350THM transmission. so basically my question is a two parter... 1 being how many teeth are on my flywheel (i think its 168 but i heard it could be 150 something) and 2 being what kind of starter should i buy, keep in mind im on a tight budget and its a daily drive. id appreciate ANY advice.
