4 speed hawk starter

Jack,

the starter is the same automatic and stickshift but the nose is different. (yes, I know they have different tag numbers, but there is no difference except for the nose.) There is no spacer, you need to swap a stickshift nose on one of your starters. If you can't locate one I bought one for my car (which I converted to a 4-speed from a Flightomatic) from Tom Karkiewicz (sp?) the "bus guy" that comes to all the big swap meets. I think he charged me something on the order of $20.

I'm still looking for a driver's door window with tinted glass for my '55 coupe, so if you have one in your stash drop me an email. (any C-body 53-61 with tinted glass would have the window I need.) Also if you have any C-body vent windows with stainless steel frames that you would be willing to let go of, I might be interested. I have some "decent" chrome ones but stainless is forever or so I've heard.

thanks and good luck,

nate

You will need to find a starter for manual transmission equipped V8, as the automatic one has a shorter snout and will not work. I don't recall that the 4 spd. had a special starter? Anyone?

Bo

I thought the standard shift snout was shorter???

Could be, I'm all ways getting them back wards, until I see it on the car?

Bo

Nate,

Is the snout longer on the stick shift, or auto? I get those mixed up until I see one, then after awhile I get it mixed up again. Vicious cycle.

Bo

Here you go:(thanks to Ray)
