Post a parts wanted ad in the Classified Section.

 

To help you in your search.
The parts book says that all 1954 thru 1956 Olds took the same starter.
Factory part number was 1107638.

 

303 engine starter won't work?

 

Nope, not according to the Olds parts book.
Probably has something to do with the fact that the 303 had a 140 tooth flywheel and the 324 had 176 teeth.

 

There's ONE "old timey" rebuilder left in this area. Probably also a few shade tree guys too. He might have something on the shelf. I've used him a few times. Good results. K + S Auto Electric, Las Cruces NM 88005.

 

Pretty sure I have one. Let me know if you want me to look. RegardsPat
