Engine Mechanical problem
1972 Chevy Cheyenne V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

i had the starter tested and its fine and the starter works fine the battery is good when i turn the key it will turn over then stop and let air out and then click; if i turn the engine backwards it will turn over for another 2 seconds or so then do the same thing. i can turn it backwards but it will only turn forward to a certain point or something because when i get it to turn over then it stops it wont turn at all the way it should to start but it turns the otherway just fine then if i turn it back again it will turn over for another few seconds and give out air and stop. whats wrong with it? what can i do to fix whatever is wrong with it.

What do you mean by, "give out air?" If the starter can't turn the engine over fully, either the starter, battery, or connections are bad.

Let me know.
