starter pinging

Alright y'all I have this wierd problem going on with my starter/transmission. The starter sounds as if it is pinging against the flywheel and then just spinning freely. Its a BB200 backed up to a C5. I've tried two different size starters as well as adding and taking out shims to get a different spacing. At one time I was actually able to start it, but then I realized my gas gauge wasn't working, ran out of gas and have since not been able to start it. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe the flywheel got warped or something along those lines. No one I've talked to down here has any ideas. thanks for your help.

Found the problem, the idiots at AutoZone gave me the wrong starter. I needed a 164 tooth and they gave me a 157 tooth. got it solved though, thanks.
