Re: 226 H parts suppliers
It's been 20 years but I got all my overhaul parts for a 226H from Kanter. Not sure now, but then the parts came in NOS original boxes. No Chinese junk.

Re: 1951 Starter 6&8
I believe the 6 cylinder starters have a 9 tooth drive while the V8 starters have a 10 tooth drive. Check the part numbers.
