Note the voltage and current for the starters that have the 8 ftlbs zero speed torque specification. The listed torque may not be an error.

I have a '54 'Motor's' manual that has a diagram of the test set-up for this test. There is a large capacity variable resistor used to set the tabulated voltage. I suspect the current and torque are the two characteristics that should be compared to the tabulated data.

If I was conducting this test I would start-off with the lowest voltage achievable, and then ramp to the tabulated voltage level . . . all the while keeping an eye on the current. Once at the correct voltage the torque would be read and recorded.
