Re: Starter Went Bad?

I cursory glance on the internet shows several GM Muscle car guys with the same problem with broken Delco starter snouts. Looks like three are two possible causes.

1) Ignition advanced to far and it causing a kickback when the motor starts.

2) Starter flexing from loose or improperly torqued bolts. Also I guess on some models GM used an additional brace the supported the front of the starter, and if that brace was missing the torque of the starter would cause it to flex and snout clips the spinning flywheel.
