Got my stash of parts home, and started on the starter, but ran across the first problem. Tried to call Jason at AER yesterday, but that guy doesn't work on thanksgiving! Thought I would ask here since packard info never sleeps. Will try and call Jason next week I guess.
here is a pic of my old and new field coils. I'm converting the starter from 6 to 12V, so that could be the difference, but the old field coils have two lines that attach to the brushes, and the new field coil only has one. I guess I can wire both brushes to this one post, but then I will have to run a pretty thick wire from one brush to the other....Anybody have experience with this? wire gauge suggestions? On the end cap, 2 brushes go to ground, and 2 go to the positive/field coils...
My starter was also missing the 'fish paper' between the coils and magnets. Guess I will cut my own from gasket paper. And should I grease the bushings that are pressed into the housing with say, wheel bearing grease, or something else?
