Starter staying engaged?

[ClarkDart70]

Hey guys,
I put a new starter on about 2 weeks ago and starting this week when I start my dart, I get a horrible whizzing sound for about 20-30 seconds before it goes away. I sounds as though its coming from my starter area. :wack:


What is the likely hood my starter is staying engaged? Also, if this is the case, what do I need to do to correct this? I know on the Chevys I worked on there were shim packs, but I don;t know if the same holds true for Mopar. Thoughts?

You should use the new mini starter but your fly wheel may have some damage to the teeth.

Flywheel looked good when I checked it out during the tear down two months ago.
Its a 318 with a NAPA brand stock replacement.
The inspection plate is on.

I am leaning towards a bad starter. Relay is also new.

It might be the ignition switch...I don't really know how the a-bodies ignition switches, but on a more relevant car, that would be the switch.
