TruckPastor's 57 Is Alive...sort of
Hey all, I finally got my project to run today. My ignition problem seemed to be with a short in the ignition switch wiring causing my points to be continually grounded
That's the good news, now the bad... My starter now just spins but does not crank engine. Perhaps when the motor fired it chewed the teeth off my starter gear? Ill remove it to confirm. This is my luck with projects...fix one thing and break another!

Of course, what isn't for these trucks?!
Available NOS and from autoparts stores. The spring has to be unwound by hand to get to the roll pin that retains it to the armature's shaft.
It takes muscle and a lot of cuss words to rewind that spring back to its normal position. You may be saying mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa from the pulpit if anyone other than the lawd hears you.

They look the same, but looks can be deceiving: There is more than just one of these Bendix inertia starter drives. What engine, 'Mileage Maker' 223 I-6 or 'clackity clack' Y block?
