Rebuilt starter for less than $31. Took the rusty, nasty looking starter which needed cleaned up and painted nose and magnet shell/back plate. Made sure to leave all grounding points bare. Tested and works like a champ. Also way cheaper than getting a rebuilt one from any parts store.

Also rebuilt alternator since I screwed it up. Broke rectifier when trying to take apart before. So ordered rebuild kit and also upgraded stator which should give it a 40-50amp boost over the 105amp stock. Cleaned up and repainted housing and got pulley on. Left lower attachments bare for contact to block. About $115 to upgrade/rebuild which included company soldering rectifier to stator, $22 for pulley (Ford GP-720, 8rib)
