Just in case you ever wondered what a 507 Cubic Inch Cadillac motor with a stuck mechanical advance can do to a starter when it kicks back......I have the answer!

I dodged the bullet, the only damage was the starter nose........the flex plate and block (where the starter bolts on) survived with no damage.

New starter is already on and the El Camino is back on the road.
