6V 54 Chevy Starter

    I have a 6V starter for a 235 cu in engine for a 54 sedan delivery. Where would the best place to find a new starter be? Would I want to look for 2 or 4 coil windings?



    Thanks,

    Robert

    Have you tried Napa?

    I guess I didn't ask the right thing. Which 12V starters would fit a 54 Chevy sedan delivery so I can switch to a 12V starter? I'm looking for one that would fit and can either be new or rebuilt, but don't know which would match. For instance, if a Nova starter would fit and work, I could get one of those.

    I know. For a fact. No joke. That the starter on my 51 Chevy pick up is a stock 6 volt. Its the only device of this thing that I didn't have to change to 12 volt. I read this information on an old "golden statepick up " parts catalog. There was an article in there about about 12 volt conversion which stated that the starter did not need any modifications. Its been going strong after a rebuild about 3 years ago. My "starter" guy didn't make any modifications to it and told me that "yes" some of them old chevy 6 volt starters work on 12 also.:) BUENA SUERTE
