I have a '56 sunliner with a 292 in it. I just had a shop upgrade to the later style 1-piece flex plate, as mine had the knocking sound associated with the rivited ears. Make sense?
Problem now is that the starter doesnt sound right. sounds like it isnt aligned properly, particularly in the instant the engine lights off and the strtr drive disengages...
However, IIRC from when i built the car the 1st time, there isnt a whole lot of room/space to adjust the starter engagement, if at all. Am I not remembering correctly? If so, is the newer style flexplate "just different enough" that this is to be expected until things wear in a bit?
I hope all of this makes sense.... im tired.... trying to keep the cars running, working 10 hour days, and trying to adjust to our 1 week old son!!!
Any help is appreciated!
