Thanks for all of the responses. I ended up ordering the Bosch remanufactured starter from NAPA after having problems finding a local shop to rebuild the existing one. The remanufacturered Bosch starter was identical to the original part, with a new starter gear, bushings and electrical connectors. The only bummer was that it is spray painted black instead of the original unpainted steel.

The starter fit easily enough, but the engine still won't turnover. All I get is a rapid fire click click click from the solenoid (which is more than I was getting with the old starter).

When I bridge the terminals with a screwdriver, the starter spins readily, but doesn't engage the flywheel.

Any ideas???
