That is a very pretty 38 coupe. I enjoyed seeing it run down the road. The 39 and up engines had a bracket that attached to the starter bolt and the oil pan to eliminate the problem. If you have the 21 stud engine, you may be able to fabricate a bracket. The Ford P/N is 51A-11140. Tom

DON'T FEEL LIKE THE LONE RANGER. MY STARTER IN MY '41 STUCK ALSO. WAS UNABLE TO GET THE STARTER OUT SO IT BECAME A FLATHEAD ON A FLAT BED. BACK HOME MUCH PRYING AND PROFANITY AND I GOT IT OUT. TOOK IT TO A STARTER SHOP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAD A NEW FLY WHEEL AND STARTER BRACKET. OH WELL (:

Lower case font is easier to read rather than ALL CAPS.
