Wow! What a group of replies...thanks.

I am honestly not sure if my truck has the original 53 flywheel or newer style 57 flywheel. I am afraid I might be running the larger flywheel with a 6 v starter... which would amount for the grinding teeth occasionally. Few questions:

What’s the easiest way to verify what flywheel I have (without removing it)?

I know that I have a 12 volt wiring system...assuming I have the 57 flywheel, can I just install and run a 12 v starter?
