Re: Solenoid clicking. Won't start

Starters are not too complex, and original fords are quite good. Take yours apart, if it only needs bushings and brushes its not a big deal to do yourself. If not, surly there must be a rebuilder or...

Re: Merc 1939 axle in a 32 frame need help with torque tube lenght

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
