I'm replacing starter, because the starter just spins without starting motor. I have all 3 bolts out and the starter comes out about 1/2 inch and that's it. Tried wiggling it out with no luck any ideas? 63 Ford F100 292 with fordamatic tranny

Have you tried rotating the crank by hand? Might be caught up on the flex plate.

I try not to thread-jack (much) - but, since this came up, and I was pondering it this very morning , I’ll do it : I’m wanting to keep a spare stock-type starter on hand, not a mini. Would I be better off finding an original and attempt to find a quality rebuilder, or take a chance on one from a local parts store? We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. P.M. me if you want to not walk on this guys thread.
