starter problems

got this starter in on the motor and trans deal. but it sounds like it is not locking in on the teeth on the fly wheel. is there a difference between auto and 5 spd starter?

hmm we got a new block plate from ford. what about the 164 tooth fly wheel?? does it take the same starter?

Yeah they take the same one, the big flywheel and bell housing space the starter out for alignment. If you were to put a block plate for a 157t and a 164t on top of each other the difference is clear and you see the spacing difference.
