Ford Starter

[Bob C]

The 1952 parts book shows FAE 11002-A and the 1959 parts book shows
replaced by FAJ 11002-A only shows a different starter between standard and automatic
for the V8.

Used these on my 53.
Starter: PN FAJ-11002-A
Bendix: PN C1AZ-11350-A This is a 9 tooth drive.

According to my 1953 parts book for the cars. The 215 6-cylinder with either transmission takes the same starter P/N FAE-11002-A. It calls out the use of the 1CM-11350-C starter drive for it. It also calls out the same bolts to bolt it on for automatic or standard. The six cylinder 215 does use a different transmission plate on the back of the engine for standard transmission use than the one for automatics but evidently the starter is the same for both applications. The starter drive is also the same for both applications. The 1CM-11350-C starter drive is the late type with the pin that holds it to the shaft.

The 1955 truck parts book calls out the P/N FAJ-11002-A for the 215 with the Mercury P/N 1CM-11350-C starter drive just like the earlier starter. One likely replaces the other. This starter drive was also likely changed to a different part number under a later modernization. I know that starters are available for flathead V8 retrofit that use this type starter drive.

That is a lot of valuable information. Thanks. I do have a question about the starter with the pin that holds the shaft. I don’t know what that is? Can you tell me a little about that?

There is a spring loaded collar on the drive at the tip of the armature shaft. The collar has to be pulled out of the way in order to push the pin out to free the drive for removal. Install in reverse order of removal.
