| also wanted to know if the Y block starter would interchange with late model flathead.
if i'm converting to 12V, might as well do it all.
thanks!

| | Davis: The Y starter mounts with three bolts in the flange at the drive end of the starter. If I remember correctly, flathead starters mount with two bolts through the starter itself. The 6 volt wtarter will work on 12 volts, it actually has bigger windings in it that the 12 volt one has. John in Selma, IN

| | Gents, Isn't the Yblock starter just a flathead starter with a alloy 3 bolt adapter attached by the two original flathead mounting bolts? is what I was led to believe.

| | Dutchy: I just compared the two, the case lengths are the same, but the Y starter is about 3/4" longer from the back end of the case to the tip of the shaft. The flathead armature may fit in the Y case though. John in Selma, IN
