Galaxie Starter Issues


The Bronze

Recommended Posts

I've replaced the old starter with a new hi-torque job, which does a great job of cranking it, but after a bit of a test drive revealed it was  squealing as it is ever so slightly hitting the ring gear. The teeth on the starter cog are just brushing the ring gear. Flexplate is torqued and correct. 

Solutions?

File cog?

Space starter with washers between starter mount bolts and bell housing?

Something else?

Had it idling, was listening to it and it sounded a bit grumbly. Like the water pump was a bit off. Added a jug of water. Perfect. Basically got that whole Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance/completely in tune with my machine thing down with this car now.
