What can you do if the starter does not make contact with flywheel on a 1976 Chevy 350?

1. Check the starter mounting bolts. Make sure that the starter is securely bolted to the engine. If the bolts are loose, the starter may not be able to make contact with the flywheel.

2. Check the starter solenoid. The starter solenoid is responsible for engaging the starter motor with the flywheel. If the solenoid is faulty, it may not be able to engage the starter motor, even if the starter is properly mounted.

3. Check the starter motor. The starter motor may be faulty if it is not able to engage with the flywheel. You can test the starter motor by connecting it directly to a battery. If the starter motor does not turn, it is likely faulty and will need to be replaced.

4. Check the flywheel. The flywheel may be damaged if it is not able to engage with the starter motor. You can inspect the flywheel for damage by looking for any cracks or gouges. If the flywheel is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

5. Check the ring gear. The ring gear is attached to the flywheel and is what the starter motor engages with. If the ring gear is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
