Camaro --

There are three different flywheel "tooth counts"... and some starters might only mesh with one or the other.

One is 142 teeth, one is 158 teeth - the other is 163

Divide your flywheel/flexplate by quarters and count the teeth and multiply by 4 - to be certain what you have.

RE: The 'grinding' you mention. Is this only when trying to crank the beast over? Does it stop when you disengage the key?

Do you know how to set your static (initial) timing before starting the engine?? If not I can tell you how to get it VERY close for startup...
