FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Joe, Check around for starter and generator rebuilders, you may be able to save some money. NAPA has a rebuilding service in some areas. I had a starter rebuilt locally for $85 in 2005.

I have one of those "new" starters that I got from Joblot and I used the original drive and it works fine. However, the new style drive didn't work at all.

Shiny side up! Cecil/WV

A guy on tour with us last year had a starter failure with one of those new type drive mechanisms. An internal retainer spring had popped off/out. He was able to make a roadside repair and get it back together because he is an excellent repairman. I don't think the average old car owner would have known how to make that repair. I personally prefer the function and sound of the old Bendix drive system. I would also suggest having your old one rebuilt or finding another one like it in good condition. JMO

I'd send it back and order one with a standard drive. As you know how to maneuver it, the outsize drive is the obvious problem. We get ours from C&G.

Have you considered having your old starter rebuilt? The new starter may also allow you to use the old Bendix. IMHO they are much more reliable than the new style.

If your new starter has the "made in India" replacement starter drive, not a Bendix, some grinding will required to fit this assembly to your engine.

You often have to tilt the starter as you insert it into the clutch housing so the drive will clear the flywheel. It takes a little doing in an awkward place, but usually solves the problem. If you don't have the starter bracket that goes between the starter and an oil pan bolt, you can order it from C&G (800-266-0470) as 51A-11150, $7. It helps support the starter, and prevents torque twisting.
