I didn't stop there....got a few mopars now. One of my favs is my '72 Polara 2
dr 360. Also: '70 Super Bee, '72 Dart Sport, '73 custom Charger 400, and some
parts cars of course. I have Pontiacs and Chevys too... I wonder why they call
me "HotrodMamma"? ;).

Yes, 8 volts. It was the dumbest setup you ever saw. Why it wasn't
converted right to a 12 volt I'll never know. The thing would just die on me
all of the time. I sold it off and got a '73 Nova. It sucked too and blew up at
52,000 miles. Then I got a '68 Dodge Coronet....loved that car!

My first car was a '49 Chevy Deluxe. 6 volt converted to an 8 volt and it
still sucked. Those old cars need 12 volt to be worthy.

Reminds me of when I was living in Seattle and had a '53 Cadillac.
When I got it back from a transmission shop they had stolen my new battery and
put their old weak one in it. I also parked my old Caddy on an incline and
would push it to begin the coast and it would start at about 5 mph. I only
had to drop it in second and wait...
That was my first car and it was awesome: 27 mpg and air
conditioning and automatic and all the other happy amenities they stuck on
them. It had a generator, not an alternator.

Thanks, Snookfever! I rode all day today and parked about six times.
Each time, I scope a small inclide and park on the upper end. Only
had to
really push start it once. But, it'll be good to get the starter
functional
again.

If you have trouble finding brushes.... look for a shop in your area
that
rebuilds alternators and starters. I rebuilt my starter with new
brushes
from a local shop.

replace the solenoid. Has 12 volts ? Pull the starter and the end
cap. Clean
and rebuild. New brushes needed.
