I was just wondering if something weird (since it's ex-Postal and a '71) was going on. Looks like large bell, but the starter has a Chev style solenoid on it? Compared it to the Ford 460 one (from the '77 F350 12' flatbed I'm about to sell once I finish installing the 400M in it's place) I had kicking around and it looks nearly identical.

Starter moved with the bell change. -------------- Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2008 20:12:05 -0700 From: Jim Blair My son's DJ has either a 232 or early 258 (maybe 199?). Starter is on the passenger's side and it had a BW auto, so I have to climb in there and see if it's the small early bell or later one (trans was pulled for rebuild. They hosed the PO for $1500 on the rebuild and now he has the trans up for $200 since it won't fit his '81) I'm hoping it's the low bell, maybe with a special starter (wouldn't that be a kick for early motor trans upgrades?) -- Frank Swygert _________________________________________________________________ Need to know now?
