Starter not touching flexplate?
I converted my 72 f250 to Automatic. I had a tranny and i bought a flexplate from a guy who said it fit that motor. I bolted it to the crank and it fit perfect. Got everything together and tried cranking her over, but the starter just spun. Looked underneath and the starter gear is too far away from the flexplate. Any help? Thanks

Need more info. What motor and transmission are you running?
If it's an FE, I don't think you can get the Flex-PLate on backwards, the bolt pattern is asymetric. There is that "motor plate" piece that goes in between the tranny and motor. You got it? It's only about 1/8" thick.
2nd, your name is a bit confusing. If you're running a 351, you may want to check into that engine forum (this is the FE engine forum).
