Does the wear pattern on the Robbmc starter look like the "normal" wear pattern in the manual page?

[Kramer]

It looks better but similar....after talking with Rob and RobbMC starters he too, felt it appeared to him as if it was not properly engaging/meshing right.

I wanted you guys to see these pictures. I have the flywheel back as well as the starter. As you will see, I put the engine plate on, the flywheel wheel snugged up and the starter simply bolted to the flywheel. From my view, the flywheel seems to line up perfectly, however notice how close the starter gear is to the flywheel in its resting position...seems very close to me...guessing a distance of about 10 sheets of paper.

Curious as to what you guys think..

ps...the starter is held on to the engine plate for now, not the flywheel

Kramer,

Did you confirm that your distributor advance mechanism has been locked down since you changed to the TWM setup? This question was asked earlier in the thread but I didn't see your answer.

On this machine that looks to be a penetration of just barely 1/2 the ring gear tooth depth.

Tonight the Cobra was on the road again for he first time in six months ... Special thanks the Rick lake and Sammy among a lot of others who helped me along the way... So far everything seems to be working nicely together. Seems the combination of re-aligning the BH and re shimming the starter seems to have done the trick.THANK YOU ALL for you help.. Should be finally reading this weekend after getting the interior back in the car.
