Help- I will try to make this short. My mom has a 66 6 cyl convertible and I have a 66 6cyl coupe. Her starter drive had gone out, I volunteered to buy a new starter and give her mine that seemed to be working fine.
So I put my starter on her car which started great, took hers to the parts store for a core and put the new one on mine, but the new one seemed to be hitting on something in the bell housing, I guessing the torque converter??? In addition the new starter on my car blew the solenoid.
When I pulled the new starter from my car the end of the starter that is somewhat flat anyway was scarred up. I then tryed the new starter on mom's car and it worked great, put my old one back on my car and probably needed a new solenoid.
Everyone is running again but what do I do if my starter goes out. I still have what I believe to be a correct Cruise-0-Matic as it shifts correctly from the green dot but has someone changed my torque converter which is hitting on the stock starter?
The moral of the story, last Saturday would have been a little less agrivating if I had just given mom the new one. Don't skimp on mommy's car.
Thanks
