Hi
The pinion gear wont touch the flywheel so that wont stop it going in, the gear actually is on Bendix drive that throws the gear forward to engage the flywheel, is it the same starter, maybe your trying to fit 6 volt starter in a 12 volt hole, the 6 volt starter uses a larger shaft.

yea well I got both bolts in but, yeah it was like about 3/4 inch still sticking out,I wiggled & jiggled & @#$%^&$#@~
its a 64 so I just thought it would be a 6v a Auto elec checked my old one out & said it was stuffed & said just get another so i havnt got the old one 2 compare to it & cant see a 6v or 12v stamped on the starter~

Hi
The starter should have the voltage stamped on the casing, sounds like you have the wrong starter.
Steve
yea no stamp on casing that I can see what appearance differences are there between 6 & 12 , ~THANKS aLL~
