Coil should be on passenger side. I wanted to make sure that others do not copy incorrect details along with correct details in the picture provided . The starter in the picture needs some help looking correct. It is the correct later 4 speed unique starter as the wide band nose cone indicates however the starter should be detailed differently. The the band clamp in the back has a gasket underneath and so does the Bendix cover that will stick out just a little. The starter is completely painted black up to and overlapping the edge of the nose cone band . The edge was typically a soft line as if a mask was used. A airbrush can come in handy to duplicate the look but there are other ways. The exhaust manifolds were already bolted on when the engine was painted so in keeping with the other authentic factory details there should be some engine color overspray on the exhaust manifolds .
Thanks Bob. I should note the pic was taken around 1999. That starter is NOT on the car now. A correct starter I might need as I got a few tucked away but have not checked them out for part numbers. I understand how showing the pic can be "concours dangerous". I don't have a lot of pics taken during the resto and the pic was for coil placement to see if it is mounted correctly. That starter died many years ago at Motor muster(I kept it and paid the core charge) and had to be changed at Greenfield Village and was done by their crew there(lead Mechanic owned a 71 Boss so was familiar with mounting that starter). My pics also show a Ford Holley on my engine(pic taken not long ago year wise). While paint overspray may be correct wouldn't it burn off rather quickly on a driven car? One reason I didn't spray it on it. I also used manifold gaskets cut to the size of the manifolds. Since the late 90s the bar has been raised on these cars so I will eventually up that on my car(button top fuel pump among other parts tucked away along with correct valve covers).
So where can I get a correct starter if I need one or get the one in the pic rebuilt? Gary
Oh yeah, I plan on using one of Jack's starters also (Dead Nuts on).
