OK Marvin lets reset here. Before we go any farther.
In trying to understand your problem and your explanation of your starter, I got off on the wrong foot possibly. Others were on the right foot. You said regarding foot starter " The starter does not have that type of option. Thanks!!!"
I misinterpreted that...... Also In your last post you probably meant to say "still would not move the bendix out"
1. You do have a foot start starter. I had not seen this type of foot start and didn't look close enough.
2. The foot linkage just pushes a button, called the "starter switch".
3. This spins the starter motor. The inertia of spinning the spring causes it to send the pinion into the flywheel gear teeth and spin the motor.
The info you just gave about the shop indicates that the bendix may be OK. I wish they would have used a 6V battery. But what that info says is that you need to do the following.
1. Get your 6 volt battery load tested by a professional.
2. Get new big battery cables.
3. Clean the battery posts really good.
4. Place the new ground cable on a starter motor bolt or a nearby bolt. Be sure to clean that bolted spot down to bare metal.
5. Test and report.
After you do all that and do it right, I believe you will solve your problem. I am not sure if the link you gave showing a motor is the motor you bought.
Hook up the battery with negative ground. Then wire the ignition switch "Run" terminal to positive coil terminal and the negative coil terminal is wired to the distributor.
29-37 has a starter design in-between hand crank and linkage operated pinion engage. A rebuilt one is $235. (Classic Trucks of America)
