Flexplate Damage vs Timing Retarders

Gary,
I went through the same problem. I ate about 3 flex plates and 4 staters. I changed everthing in the ignition and the problem still was there.The last time I damaged a starter I borrowed one from a friend that was for staggered bolts. This solved my problem. I believe my block was drilled wrong. I now use a CSR starter with a 7AL2 and a MSD starter retard. This stater and flywheel have been in there for over 2 seasons. My combo is a 540 with 14.5 CR.
