70 Mustang Starter Prob

Change the flexplate or flywheel.

problem with my starting system but i cant figure it out for te life of me.....here it is My car will start sometimes other times the starter will just sound like it is spinning if i sit there long enough and keep cranking eventually it will start.....i have replaced the battery,Starter,Starter Solenoid,Starter cable(oversized..could be the problem)car starts better in Neutral than in park when it starts.

sounds like you need a new flywheel,it probably has a few teeth worn off and the starter is not engaginging it properly.

I'd agree with Winze.... remove the starter and inspect the ring gear - check the full circumference since V8s like to stop in four different locations. It doesn't take much burring to keep the starte from engaging. Also be aware that there is a difference in starters betwixt auto and manual transmissions.
