With either the Autolite or Delco starter, there is only one mounting bolt - a chrome one going through the bellhousing and into the case of the starter. Once you have taken that and the wiring off, the starter should come out. Careful, it is heavy. I'm guessing since you asked, that your may have some rust or paint that is holding it in the bell housing, as it is a close fit and the starter goes in a good distance. You can email me directly at packard12s@hotmail.com. Dave Mitchell, Packard tech advisor.

chrome bolt..? Or was it originally NICKLE plated... ? ?

Oh, by the way, when you put that starter back in, how 'bout ignoring the "stock" ground wire, and add a ground, ONE CONTINIOUS WIRE, going DIRECLY from the POSITIVE terminal on the battery, to the engine block. And dont use lamp-cord, either. At LEAST "0".

If the starter is in reas. condition, it will crank over like gang-busters, the way Packard built em, from then on.

Anyone else know the Queens area around Hollis ? Bet not too many of you know what the Vanerbilt ExpressWay was !

Yeah, it was a road built by William Vanderbilt II so he could drive out to his estate. See, even if you can't spell it, we know what it is.
