Alright, you've got a nice long weekend coming up, I think you should take tomorrow off and stretch it out to a four-day weekend. That way you should be able to get the car back together, cranking properly, starting properly, and maybe even running properly. And that means not leaving broken teeth in the bell housing or having gas vapors pluming out on to your hot primaries .

I'm really ready, but I'm trying to make sure the starter teeth are engaging the flywheel properly, then we'll stab the tranny. thanx for the support and encouragement. s

Steve,

You should leave the heavy lead off at the starter, (insulate the lug for safety), so you can engage the pinion with the flywheel to check pinion to ring gear engagement in both planes.

With only the small solenoid wire fitted, the ignition switch can be held in the crank position to ensure the pinion is correct.

Wrong depth in either plane is the cause for ring gear or pinion damage.

Thanx Gary, but I have a Powermaster starter and there's only one lead, the big one that comes from the VR via the battery. So how do I that? thanx s
