-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have has startup issues. I have narrowed it to my starter area. I have had intermittant trouble with starting and it seemed as if i have trouble charging (i.e. generator issues) however, i get 14 volts to the battery while the car is running. And in addition I can leave my headlights on while starting and they do not dim. And sometimes when I turn the ignition over a horrible sound comes from the starter area.
So this leaves me one location, the starter solinoid or the starter itself, or both.
question 1. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any better solutions?
I have a 1956 bug on a 1962 pan with a 71 AE type 1600cc engine inside.
question 2. Based one this configuation, what is the best starter for my line up?
