Starter locks up engine with new flywheel
So I just replaced my 1966 Ford F100 300ci’s flywheel with LuK LFW132 and now when I go to crank the engine it cranks, gallops really badly, and then completely locks up.
Once it locks up I can’t spin the engine by hand until I pull the starter, then the engine is free.
I am using the original starter with no shims

I don't think that is the correct flywheel, but it might work if you get a different starter. The original flywheels were 168 tooth and the replacements are 164 tooth.
If you still have the original flywheel they can be resurfaced. Here is an ND post with part numbers. 1966 f100 240 3 spd - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
