Do I Need a New Starter UPDATE

[19Fordy]

Removed the 8BA starter today and found that it has a broken Bendix spring.Will now try the Ed Pitts 12V conversion suggested in first thread. I would also like to replace the broken spring and have that unit as a spare. Where do I buy the special lock washers? #11379 Thanks

Any idea as to where to get washers # 11379 and a NOS spring? Thanks.

Yo, Jim........MacVP has the washers for a buck a piece, and a spring (didn't call it "NOS") for $7. Can you afford all that? DD

Ok V8. Thanks. I already ordered from C and G but saved your info.
for next time.......................around 2043. Opps! I just realized I won't
be around then and someone else will be driving my hot rod. Oh no!
