I am still not making any progress with the starter problem. The flywheel has 168 teeth, I removed the solenoid and operated by hand and the bendix slid right into the ringear. I shimmed the starter a little and thought I was making some headway but got delayed, had to have thr radiator rebuilt, that took two weeks. Radiator back in and now tested starter, same old thing, clunks bad and won't turn over. I am now going to remove the solenoid again and try to engage by hand and then turn flywheel to see if it binds up or what is going on. Thanks for any ideas to help solve the problem, Ralph
