Just got a call from Jim Carter Truck Parts. My starter came back rebuilt as a 12 volt.

Just to NOTE, for anyone looking at the same issue, between 6 volt and 12 volt, just so you know...

The starter drive gear will not fit on the newer 12 volt armature. The splines are different on the armature shaft, so you can't use a 6 volt armature with a 12 volt drive gear, or a 6 volt drive gear on a 12 volt armature as I would need. Chevy tried to make everything incompatible so people wouldn't switch the parts between voltage and the differences for 139/168 tooth flywheels.

Because of that, they needed to use the 6 volt armature and rewind it for 12 volts so I could have the 9 tooth, 4 TPI drive gear. The newer one for 12 volt is 9 tooth, 5 TPI.

Also coming is:

12 volt alternator w/neg ground
Bracket to mount alternator
12 volt coil
Voltage Reducer for fuel gauge
Voltage Reducer for coil to points

I will need to use a 12 volt battery and replace all the lights for outside as well as dash and dome light.

Am I missing anything guys?
