You may have a gear reduction starter

The geared AutoLite starter motors were only used on the 356 engines, ending with the 23rd series. Just to reiterate what others have already said, an engine in good internal condition and good state of tune with a competent battery and properly sized cables ("O" gauge or better) and with starter motor in good condition should start almost immediately, certainly within a few engine revolutions.
