Re: Starter Issue/Question (bigbobbyb)
Thanks for all your assistance on this rather frustrating item.
I took the big step and bought a rebuilt starter at AutoZone for $31. Seems like a reasonable price, expecially since it has a lifetime warrenty.
I'll install tomorrow along with the insulating wrap. Hopefully, that will do the trick.

Demar,
See http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/tune...l/index9.shtml
for the location of the neutral safety switch.
Hope this helps.

Re: Starter Issue/Question (bigbobbyb)
Installed the new starter with heat shield wrap yesterday. Seems to have done the trick... The new starter definitely turns over faster than the old one as well.
This may be of interest; I noticed that the solenoid on the new starter had "High Heat" stamped on it, which the old one didn't. Could they be making solenoids that can now withstand the heat?
I will keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks for all your help with this one!

Re: Starter Issue/Question (bigbobbyb)
Same problems.....
I have replaced the battery, battery cables, new starter from AC/Delco, new starter bolts and new ring gear.
I keep breaking the nose on the starter, have been through 5 AutoZone starters and finally put in the AC/Delco unit. And then the nose on it broke and I put another one in. Now I am getting that nasty grinding sound, yes I checked the shims. It looks like the teeth on the starter ring are ground down again. My next step is to replace the engine and forward lamp harnesses.
I don't know what else to do. Does anyone know why I keep braking noses and grinding starter rings???????
