GET A STARTER SHIM AT AUTOZONE

Make sure you are using the correct starter. I believe there is a difference between the one in a 302 and the one in a 351. If I remember correctly, it has to do with the gear size.

God luck,

i agree with killer, when you buy a remaned starter they grind the plate down a little to make it a even surface again. so try shimming it to stop the teeth grinding if not then do like the other post said and make sure your getting the correct starter.

later.

How do the teeth on the flywheel look?

I had a 79 Dodge Ramcharger that would grind the first couple times I would try starting it and then kick over. I took the starter out because I thought that was the problem, but found that my flywheel at flat spots with teeth broken or ground down.
