Bob, I really doubt there is anything in them that you don't already know, but you might want to review two older threads on this site, Monte Carlo and Postwar Coachbuilt Packards where there was some discussion of the topics you wanted for your book.
And again, if you want to review my database of 48-50 thief-proof numbers, vehicle numbers and Briggs numbers, just let me know.

Owen, just a short posting to make clear that Jerry Barnhart deals with originals, I don't know if he even bothers with reprints.

That starter damage is not unexpected with prolonged use of 12 volts on a 6 volt starter, and related damage to the flywheel ring gear will also occur over time. Perhaps the carburetor is the problem, but these cars should start quite easily on 6 volts at below-freezing temperatures. At very low temperatures (below 0 Fahrenheit) consider the use of a dipstick heater to warm the oil for a few hours first. I'd strongly recommend finding the starting problem and returning to 6 volts.

Ja, I dont play games! the problem is that the 288 has difficulty staring from cold. After it has caught once, it starts very easily and fast. I am thinking carb problems. I have a non standard stromberg that seems to be from a late 60 model Ford? anyway, that is something I will fix before hammering the 6v starter on the 12v battery again! Learnt a scary and expensive lesson!

Great job on the starter. Just out of curiosity, did you find a reason for all the damage? Would sure hate to see it happen again.

Randy, thanks for info. The threads being 3/8-24 in 55-6 is obviously the reason Motor City's 48-54 repros are not applicable since those are 5/16-24.

Don't muck around do you Barrie? When you break something it sure is broken! But good to see you've got the replacement parts and the housing fixed.
