starter shims
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 10-Jul-02 AT 11:59 AM (EST)]Got a problem typical of starter drag,etc:
Have replaced starter,coil,alt,etc:
but with a starter that seems to be the problem, how would one know how to go about adding shims and how much?

Is the starter correct for the application?
Are Both battery cables clean and secure?
Is the battery fully charged when cranking?
Is the starter solenoid properly grounded?
Have you bench tested the starter?
Is the starter drive well lubricated?
Has the engine & starter been sitting for an extended period of time?
Has the engine been recently re-built?
Can you turn the engine freely by hand(with or without removing the sparkplugs)?

well, yes and no to all but one.
I can`t be sure of the year this 400 is, though around 1972,
I do know a starter was put in place from a mid 70`s year,
fit well, but l now know that is`nt necessarily the case.
Still scrathing my head. How does one find out the year or the
motor?

There are casting mnumbers on the block,heads,intake & exhaust manifold's.
I was thinking more > Automatic vs Manual trans.
What happened when you bench tested it?
I wish you would have answered each Q individually instead of a blanket reponse? It would help a lot more.
