Re: dragging starter

I would be very surprised if the starter would be staying engaged while the engine is running. The over revving would be severe and you should hear quite a bit of noise if the starter lasted very long. The photo shows what Packard said could happen if the over running clutch (Bendix) should stay engaged.
Which (if either) is the correct starter for the car? I'd be curious if there is any specified torque difference between the two starters. With a hot engine, anything marginal in the cables, connections, battery condition, friction in engine, etc could be the tipping point if the problem starter is barely adequate to start with.
I also seem to remember a thread where hard starting when warm was traced to timing being slightly advanced. IIRC, problem was alleviated by moving it back a touch.
