HELP- starter drive/ bendix
 
1 Attachment(s)
Greetings, Newbie here so be gentle! I have a 1949 Flxible bus with a 1966 GMC 401 V6. The starter motor engages approx one in a dozen attempts. Can anyone help me with a part number/ source? Also at some point i want to add power steering to this beast- anyone have pump and brackets and such for sale? Thanks in advance

My starter had that issue in my 305 v6 and I had mine rebuilt locally. If you have someone local or in the area that can rebuild starters you'd be good to go. :thumbsup: Have you been able to check all the electrical connections to the starter though? Loose wire will cause those problems.

Edit: I don't think a new one is available, unless the 305 v6 starter in the same. If you can supply some pictures I could check with my local parts store. Last I check 3 different bolt patterns were available. Two of which may be the "Big truck style" if there's a difference.

BR 549:
Rockauto.com lists a nine tooth drive, part no. SDN1A from Standard Motor Parts for a 351 V6 for $9.84. If you have the large truck flywheel on your 401, drive may be different.

Hope that helps.
Regards,
Steve
