Interesting that the add mentioned shiming when you have issues. I wonder if that is why mine doesn't fully engage into the ring gear. But then why does that behavior develop all of a sudden.

I bought one of those ebay starters, hooked it up on my 72, started car and all was well. Took car out on road and after 1\2 mile of driving the motor sounded like it was about to let loose on me (nasty grinding noises). In other words, the starter needed to be shimmed, but no shims came with mine so I sold it.
