I had meant flywheel bolts, but using new starter bolts every time is good to do because they stretch. Check also check teeth on starter and flywheel.

Dont use starter shims. Flexplate/flywheel may be loose. Check torque. Get new proper bolts and thread seal and torque to spec.

I was just looking at rear window crank handles lol

If you find a civy unit, the gm diesel trucks quit using db2 inj pump after 93 and moved to db4 in 1994 and up. I believe both still have a TCM. Hope this helps.

In, thanks for the opportunity

Doesn't sound like it, these parts are becoming hard to come by and you may have to retrofit what is available.

Follow the wire and inspect it. Ground strap to body and ground strap to frame from negative.
