1957 289 Not sure what has been done to the generator prior so just want to be sure. The electical studs as of right now: the Armature terminal pulls tight to the metal casing inside (making metal-to-metal contact) and has an insulator on the outside while Field stud has an insulater inside and out. This does not seem right to me and i don't want to hook it up only to find out I burnt it up. Should either terminal contact the housing? If not, where could I get a pair (one in & one out) of the isolation parts? Machine shop boring cylinders has my manual. STARTER??? The starter on same SH looked like it had never been rebuilt so I grounded the housing and touched the cable to positive to insure it worked (before I spit polished it). The worked but now the gear is not retracting...normal or did I damage it? How do I get the gear to retract to install starter?
Thanks, in advance, for your help. This forum is a valuable aid for me since I live at 49 & Plum (49 miles from nowhere & plum out in the sticks...don't get Monday night football till Thursday).
