<VV> VirtualVairs Digest, Vol 51, Issue 12

[Crawford Rose]

A non-1960 starter solenoid will hit the "roof" - sheet metal package area. 
The 60 starter is reliable in my experience - as much as any Corvair 
starter - and inexpensive to rebuild at the local rebuilder - $75?  Many 
things in the 60s are different because of the starter; the throttle arm to 
the carb linkage and the wiring harness and battery cable length for 
example.
