put a 235 in my '50, got it running and decided to change a wobbly harmonic balancer, ever since, everytime i start it i got a loud screeching noise from the starter. tried three different starters.also converted to 12 volt alternator system. anybody have any ideas as to what is causing this?

It could be the drive mechanism is hanging up. Maybe a weak return spring. I'd pull the starter and bench check it or take it to your local shop and have them check it for you.

I wonder why changing the balancer affected the starter...?


If you can't fix it with a hammer and screwdriver, you need a bigger hammer.
