You need to use pull out the starter gear until it is in mesh with the flywheel, and stick a paperclip in the gap between the teeth. You should use 1/2 shims to get the starter closer or father from the flywheel. A replacement starter usually comes with a sheet that explains this easier then i can. Also, if you keep on having problems with the starter getting out of allingment, you may need a front starter brace. It is a small piece of metal that bolts to the front of the starter, and attached to a drilled & tapped hole in your block. A Chevy dealership should have one for about $5. Good luck!
