72 Duster Resurrection

Changing a starter takes 5 min in a 1965 slant six. I have done it in parking lots. Most of Joe Public is totally helpless. They also believe mechanics who state, "must be a bad head gasket, will cost $$$$ to fix".
You are right...When I put the battery to it the starter just made a grinding noise (bad Bendix), swapped out the starter and it fired up. After doing some needed stuff like brakes and such, I drove it around. And to think, it was parked for a $35.00 starter...Kind of glad that it was.
