I have one of Langdon's adapters and the Lakewood bolts right up to it. The Langdon's is original intended for use with his special starter but that one will not work with the '55 - '57 style Lakewood I have, that uses the same era Chevy starter which bolts to the bellhousing. I have the correct 12V starter for that application. I also have a '58 235 truck flywheel and one from a '59 261 so I guess that I will just have to try them and see if one works.
