So I got the remaining stuff for my 5 speed conversion together today -- driveshaft, exhaust, trans mount. I even r&r'd a snapped e-brake cable.

I lowered the car to the floor, connected the battery and ... the engine wanted to turn over but wouldn't. I thought I smelled something smoky so I did not force it.

I discovered that I could not turn the engine from the crank, although I could turn the driveshaft when I was under the car.

Any thoughts? Perhaps the starter isn't seated correctly?

Dang.
