[Chrysler300] Transplant Check

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

  I continue to do battle to get a decent starter in our 1955 C-300.  A
rebuild by a so-called pro failed mechanically.  I did find a rusty boat
anchor in a salvage yard with the proper part number, but am reluctant to
install it.  Then, I found a rebuilt unit in my garage that I had bought on
e-Bay three years ago.  The rebuilt unit LOOKS just like the original
unit(s), but has different Chrysler and Auto-Lite part numbers.

Does anyone have a good cross reference book/chart to see what kind of car,
truck or industrial unit the rebuilt unit may have come from and whether it
will effectively interchange into our 1955 C-300 with the original 331 cubic
inch hemi?  The replacement starter is marked 6-Volt, positive ground and
I'm guessing it might be for the '53-'54 Chrysler hemis???  Or, maybe a
truck or industrial unit???

Original (for all 1955 Chrysler and DeSoto 6-Volt cars):
Chrysler: 1604480
Auto-Lite:  MCL 6304

My rebuilt spare:
Chrysler: 1527689
Auto-Lite:  MCL 6121A

I do have an interchange CD on order, but have not received it yet.

Thanks in advance for your R&D.
