Re: starter for 58 packard

Standard Motor Products (a brand carried by most old-fashioned parts stores) offers parts like brushes and bushings for repairing the original starter, but those aren't always enough. What's wrong with the original/previous starter from your car that it can't be rebuilt by a good old auto electrical shop?

Unfortunately, 1958 was poor sales year all-around for S-P, and lower production translates into fewer survivors AND parts donors. Unless you have interchange information, finding a good used starter at this point in time, may be difficult. However, you might wanna try sending member Pac-manDon a PM as he is really into these cars (and may be able to help find, if not provide you with, a good used starter).
