Thanks mike.
Never really had too many problems with gm style starters.
Just the usuals. i've Learned good tite connections clean mounting pad proper bolts and a good ground and cables are what works for me.
I did find it weird that the date codes on my gears matched the truck since I thought they were replaced. The fella at the axle shop said # scribes are pretty common on oe stuff.
When I bolted the cover back on and looked at my cover bolts laying on the cart I knew I did it again!
Opened my mouth without having ALL the clues.
Here is what I saw.... I could kick myself ...AGAIN!
I did manage too get my wheels and tires put together.
I got the new rotors and wheel bearing but duh! forgot to get new inner seals.
Oh another bike ride too the store.
I stashed the 307 wrapped in 2 tarps in my lawn wagon and parked it behind the garage too keep it out a my way for now.
I went back to pull it out the other evening with the tractor and go figure one of my tires blew out the side wall

.....dum dum I should blocked it up off the tires.
So a tire change is in order for that also.
