I used to have a '48 Dodge half ton pickup that had been slightly modified.
:-) It had an early hemi engine that had a bunch of Stromberg 97's on a log
manifold, Sig Erson cam, headers, high compression pistons, etc. Didn't
want to turn over very easily. So I converted the truck to 12 volt, but
retained the 6 volt starter. That starter spun the hemi like it was a VW
engine and was still working just fine when I sold the truck years later.
The engine spun so fast and started so easily the starter never had a chance
to get overheated.
