RE: [Chrysler300] 61/61 starter

["John Mc Adams" <clafong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Russ and all:

As I recall the way it was described to me, (I may be mistaken on this
point), the earlier Cast Iron Torqueflites have a different flywheel starter
ring with a different number of teeth (therefore a different pitch) than the
later Aluminum Torqueflites.  


I don't know if you could interchange a later starter ring on the earlier
flywheel, or change out the drive gear on the starter.  

If the pitch and number of teeth are indeed different, the position of the
axis of the starter drive pinion might also have a different radius location
about the crankshaft centerline as well.

Anyway, there would be a lot of things to look into before just going out
and buying something hoping it might bolt in.

Then there is the matter of the different sound that the later (gear drive)
mini-starters make when actuated.  Personally, I sort of like the sound of
the newer mini-starters.

If the internals are the same, I would think a core could be rebuilt by an
electrical shop that specializes in starters, generators and alternators.

  The 66-69 Hemi 4spd starter is the same armiture, but different nose
(oriented differently). The repro guys don't have these available. I had to
hunt a starter down for my Hemi vehicle, unfortunately, best bet is to find
and original starter.

If memory serves, and it might not at this point, the starters for the 1966
- 1968 426 Hemi cars with 4 speed only were the same "old style" starters as
the G and F. This might be what Mancini is selling. I cannot recall if the
snouts were the same however. If trhe parts are available to upgrade the 426
starters to high output, then the G & F starters can be upgraded also.
