Just to add to what others have said, some aftermarket starters have no shaft support and over time move out of alignment if they have no pinion support. Robb Mc Starters do, but I did not see any for the 385 series. You may want to check with them.

If all else fails, I took my Bellhousing off and bolted the started to the block plate to check alignment and fit.
