<VV> starter issues

[Rodney Sampson]

Eric:
   When it doesn't start does it spin (not engage) ?
   I've recently experienced an issue with my ignition switch , where
     it will occasionally start perfectly and others, just spins the starter...
 
Thanks

Subject: <VV> starter issues

I have a starter that doesn't seem to work while mounted in the car. 
It works fine outside of the car, but under load it is slow and will
sometimes turn the engine, but usually it doesn't.  That said, I would
like to try another starter...  but I am not finding any luck at the
local auto parts stores.

I seem to remember that other vehicles use the same starter as the
corvair, with a swap of the nose.  Is this true?  Which vehicles?

Thanks,
Eric
