starter trouble

I have a 1965 ford 352 and a 1975 c6 transmission. I can't find a starter that will fit. I've tried three different starters from my local Napa store. I put on a new 184 tooth flexplate. The problem I'm having is the starter drive doesn't engage fully with the flexplate and the teeth wear off. Any ideas on what starter to try or what I might be doing wrong.
