I ran a marginal starter for years on my '51. it always started (sometimes just barely) so the old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset prevailed. In 2016, I pt a new engine in the car and in the process, rebuilt the starter (it turned out the brushes were almost gone and the bushings were shot).

It made a world of difference. The engine turned over at least twice as fast as it did before.
