I just bought a 30 coupe with a Model B motor. Are the starters the same in the A and B ? It was converted 12 volt, and I don't know if the starter was or if the B was 12 volt.

If it has the normal A starter switch it is the A starter.
the later B starters just have stud with nuts for cable,the starter switch is connected with wire

6v. through about 1955 or so. The only difference between A & B starters is the A has 4 screws holding the switch and the B has3. I've been running 12v. to A starters since 1959, no problems.
