replaced the 228 in my '53 gmc sub with a chevy 235 using the gmc bellhousing. a 216 starter and a 235 grind and will not engage the flywheel. telling me to put the 228 back in is not a help.any clues?

Are you using a 6 volt starter on a 12 volt flywheel?

A 12 volt flywheel will have 168 teeth. A 6 volt flywheel will have 139 teeth.

It is possible to run a 6 volt starter on 12 volts, but it is not possible to run a 12 volt starter on 6.

I would never tell you to put the 228 back in... I would tell you to lose the 235 and put a gmc 270 or even better a gmc 302 in place of the 228!
