57 Fairlane 500, automatic transmission

My transmission was overhauled a year ago, now it leaks like sieve. I am thinking I need to swap out to a more modern style. I know I will need the adapter plate, what is my best option?

Starter cleanup

I have a starter to put in my 60hp, it has been laying around for years, I will tear it apart, check the fields and brushes, etc. My question is do I lubricate the bendix or leave it dry?
