It sounds terrible, what is the cause of this, bad battery ? The starter block that the arm presses to is new, but it was the same before. I have seen starter parts at Jim Carters, but it's for a starter up to early -55. I have a -59 with a 261.
Anyone with a good link for parts ?

My 2004 Jim Carter catalog lists their p/n ME910 $14.70 in 2004, hope that helps.
