Flexplate installation issue.

Your starter looks wonky
Have you tried the friends starter?
I mean the relationship inside the friends bellhouse would have been the same. If it worked for him with his starter, then his starter should work in your bell.View attachment 1715138733View attachment 1715138734

We tried to grind a piece of the starter to clear the flex plate. That is the reason it looks wonky. However after grinding that piece off, the flexplate is touching the starter gear. That means another type of starter won't clear the current flex plate
