Default c4 gearbox help!!

ok iv got a 67 mustang with a 302w i have just brought, its got a new 302 motor, it was out wen i got it, iv just put the gear box back in, and wen i went to start it, it did start but there was a loud tapping noise made by the gear box.. i turn it off, i pulled the inspection cover at the bottom of the c4 off and started it again, i found that there was a balancing weight on the ring gear and that was hitting every so often on the starter motor and sheet metal cover between the c4 and motor, i then got 2 washers and put the washers in between the starter motor and the gear box.. it only hits wen starting now.. and fine wen in idel, but wen i took it for a drive, it would hit again wen i gave it some gas, wat should i do? how should it be...?

It may be the wrong starter. Sometimes they have to be shimmed but usually not to clear the flywheel. It sounds like its dimentionsof the starter may be off.

I had the same problem.If the 302 is a late model then u have to use the flexplate and harmonic balancer for the conversion of a late model 302 to an early style c4.Mustangs Plus sells it..Thats it id bet.
