I have a 302 with a C4 tranmission. The previous owners have a flywheel on there. From what i have heard there should be a 157 tooth flexplate on there. The starter isn't connecting with the flywheel, the flywheel needs to be moved looks like a 1/4" forward. Is there a difference in a flywheel and flexplate width or the way it bolts on that would cause this or is it the wrong starter??

Thanks for any help

 

Not sure but it the bellhousings may be different between the auto and manual. Also if you have a manualyou have a flywheel and and auto uses a flex plate.
