I have a 1972 302 mav. The starter (all 3 of em) keeps everynow and again stying stuck to the flexplate. Is it supposed to be shimmed more than the block plate? ALso i was wondering if anyone knew how much oil the c4 trans is takes? thnak you for your help.
The starter is not actually getting "stuck" to the flexplate. Something is causing it to stay engaged. There are three things that can usually cause it that I can think of right off the bat, 1: bad solenoid-very cheap and easy to replace-I would start there 2: bad ignition switch-mounts on top of column(not the key cylinder) 3: a low battery can also cause this. If you know for a fact the battery is good and has a full charge I would look at the other two things. Good luck and let us know what you find.
There is a small plate that goes around the starter. Unsure on the trans. I just fill mine up with type F till it reads full when hot.
???? what are you talking about? What Ford uses ATF in the starter and how would you keep it in the bellhousing? Please expand on this.
