[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 18-Mar-01 AT 11:34 AM (EST)[/font][p]Will a starter from a 302 fit my 272? How do you identify between these V8s 272, 292, 312, 317, 341, 368? Im going by my data plate.

Wrote the starter question before I crawled under there, I know the answer. Still curious about engine ID.

As far as I know, the only way to tell is by stroke... Possibly by year as well

Maybe I dont have as big a starter problem as I thought. Is there a sring on the starter shaft to keep the gear in the starter drive?

NO RINGS but there is a pin behind the spring. Lightly compress the spring in a vice until the pin is visible and clear on both sides. Push the pin through just enough to clear the shaft so that the drive will slide off. Push the pin back in enough to ensure that the spring wont come off. That is it! Reassemble in reverse order. When you put a new drive on and test the starter the drive will spin in to the crank position and not return as it requires the engine to overspin it for a return. This is not a problem and as soon as you crank it it will return to the rest position.

Thanks Charles
