Right on. Thanks for the info. I will check on that and report back
Thanks for the reply. It is a 3 speed manual with original flywheel. I bought a block mounted starter, thinking that it would work it did not....
Thanks for the reply. I checked them. They have several listings, but some say auto only and some say both. I am confused.
I am having a hard time figuring out what starter I need for a 1958 Chevy car 283 with a 3 speed. Some listings say that the starters are the...

That's the money shot right there. Great detailing.
The car looks incredible. Can we get a pic of the complete interior?

Looks great! It looks like you are over the tedious annoying work. Now comes all of the really satisfying stuff. :)
