Oliver:
How new is the starter? My inclination would be to do the starter
first, just
because it is so much easier than the ring gear. Besides, the starters seem to
be the things that go first - couldn't tell you the last time someone had a
problem caused by a bad ring gear.
Not saying that a ring gear can fail, but since it has no moving parts
it
seems to be the more reliable of the two.

Subject: [6pack] starter or ring gear
when I try to start it (72 tr6 triple carb etc) I get a high pitched grinding
sound.
it started last weekend and a couple of times I was able to manually turn the
engine and then I could start it. that doesn't work any more.
should I try swapping out the starter or is it the ring gear?
thanks!
