Yesterday while trying to start my car I broke another starter (#3 this year), it also pretty well wasted the flexplate (#3 also). My question is this why am I getting a big kickback when cranking ?
Its a bbc with a terminator that has a primer on it.
So far I am going to do this what do you think ?
Adding a MSD Starter Saver to retard the timing 10 degrees when cranking, I have 0 retard now. This may help ?
Going to buy a new starter that I've used in the past that works great.

I have another new flexplate I am going to put on it. A TCI and going to order another spare Jegs Flexplate ($42.00 compaired to $65.00) just in case.

I've been told to elminate the ford selnoid and run the wire back to the starter instead ?? Any truth to this helping ?
I checked volts on mine going into it 12.2 coming out 10.6 back to starter.
When I am cranking the motor over without ign on I am 12.2 volts everywhere as soon as I crank its 10 volts untill it starts ?
Before anyone jumps to grounds and powers this has all been checked and grounds been added to block, chassis all 2 gauge. Powdercoating has been taking off and also paint on block.
Battery is a newer Optima Red Top and is good to go
My next solution to all this mess is going back to a carb, this is a common issue with injection but hate to give up on it because its a copy machine right now.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
