I just installed a high torque starter from Auto Electric in my '57 292. It starts the engine fine, but it makes alot of noise and when the engine starts up, it seems the starter doesn't disengage right away and spins up making a screeching sound. I spoke with Jack at AE and he said it sounds like it is not aligned correctly. For those of you who have installed this starter, have you had a similar problem? One thing I wondered about is the rubber starter seal. At first I couldn't get the starter in place because of it. I ended up trimming all of the rubber flashing that lays between the starter and the block, but left the mounting ring in place. Should I just chuck that altogether and mount the starter without it? Any tricks to getting this on correctly?
