I will be changing the cast iron powerglide to a 200R4 in my 58 Impala and I need some help with chosing a starter. The original starter bolted to the adapter between the tranny and engine, but I won't be using the adapter with the 200R4. Eklers sells a plate about 3/16" thick which would allow the original starter to be used but I don't want to go that route unless I have to.
This early '58 engine has a boss cast in the block where the later model starters attached and has two tapped bolt holes in line with each other. Is there a starter that will attach to this boss and properly engage my 168 tooth flexplate?
The engine is out of the car and on a stand, but I'm about ready to re-install it, and I want to resolve the starter issue before I do. Thanks for your help.
