I have a 1983 mustang the starter will not engage the flywheel. Not sure what to do.

The starter is beat. I don't know what engine you're running but now is a perfect time to buy a hi-torque mini starter if you have a performance powerplant. The bendix in your starter isn't kicking out so it needs replacement. If you can't afford the superior hi-torque mini starter then just go to the auto parts store and buy a rebuilt starter.
