No, the starter was just fine. The
oil pan hung down below the frame cross member and was the lowest thing under the car. I was worried about damaging it going over a speed bump or something so we changed the pan to a low profile. Of course when we did that the old starter wouldn't fit thus the change. The gear drive fit. As simple as that. And of course the rule that once you start a project you create a whole new set of problems lol
By the way, slowly but surely I'm getting a few things done that I wanted to change. I'm getting close to the end of my wish list. Just want to let you know I love the car. It's fun to drive, I love everything about it. Just making changes to fit my likes. No offense intended though I'm sure none was taken Just wanted to let you know.
