starter

Abbeydog · 04-17-2002, 01:17 AM

I have a 55 that I have just converted over to 12 volt negative ground. At the same time I replaced the starter (because it was dead) with a rebuilt 6 volt 55 starter. The car starts up like greased lightening VROOM! However I now have this ting, ting, ting sound coming from the area of the starter. Is it possible that the new starter is bumping into the flywheel? If so what can I do about it?

I've not converted a 6-12, but can you use the 6v starter on a 12v system? Doesn't sound right.

I know it sounds questionable but the 6 volt starters will live long and prosper on 12 volts, they crank like scat and dont get hot.
