    starter issue

    fired engine today weird noise revved it up sparks flew out of bellhousing of trans, auto, pulled inspection cover could see that the starter gear was hitting the flywheel
    engine and trans out of same doner just rebuilt reman starter for doner vehicle
    engine and trans were out of vehicle when puchased
    doner is 87 waggy 360 727
    is there suposed to be a spacer between the starter and trans or a spacer between the crank and flywheel
    measured it with a micrometer need atleast .250 spacer to make it work but i was curious if i over looked something
    thanks for any advice

    I believe the starter tooth count was different.
