Hey all, new to your forum and fairly new to auto hobby. Checking in from the Fort Gordon area. I'm a proud owner of a 1953 3100 project. She's in the shop now, I just want to get her running so I can have some fun. I do have an issue, cant find a starter to replace my old one. i got an aftermarket from napa, but dont think i have the correct one. Any suggestions? its got a 235 from 1957 and is 3 on the tree with 12 volt conversion. here are some pics

Hey Marte, you guys in Georgia must be drinking out of the same creek! There has been a few from Ga. signing up lately, and there are already quite a few down your way. That makes for some good stovebolting!!

Welcome to the Stovebolt Page. Best darn site on the web for these old trucks. Lots of info and great folks. Just ask your questions in the most appropriate forum for maximum results.

On a different note: I have a sister that lives just across the way in Harlem. I get down that way fairly often....and we had one stovebolt "gabfest" last Oct. at the Alanta Dragway swap meet where bolter Brad54 runs it...and lets us in free!! I think we'll do a gathering pretty soon! I'll put you on my "southern bolter" list so I can let you know when.

If you still have your old starter the guys over in the electrical, or maybe engine forum, can guide you on rebuilding it. But on the other hand they should be able to find you one for that "late" of model. Don't give up now! To much fun ahead for you smile

Edit: thanks for posting the pics. Its in pretty good shape compared to some of us!!!..and its a 5 window. Good project you have going there.

welcome to the garage Marte, looks like a 'project' alright grin good luck, you should be able to sort out the pile with help from folks here
if you got a starter from NAPA for a 57 235 [probably a remanufactured one], it should be the right one, if you do have a 57 235, maybe what you found in your project pile isn't necessarily the right one

Thanks all, hope to learn a bunch. Thanks achipmunk it would be nice to be kept in the loop on events around here. The car culture is here, it just doesn't seem to come out to play that often.
