Gramma's Car: the new project!

Both can be removed without problem. (Both were removed for installation, though). That is the original 1975 starter which still functions fine (knock on wood). It even has the factory heat shield still in place.

If you look at the oil filter photo you can see that the factory heavy duty ground wire is still there, too. It looks like a piece of black insulated welding cable with white part number on it. It's one of those original parts that seems to get thrown away any time transmission maintenance goes on, as it is a pain to install and gets in the way of everything. It runs from the subframe to the lower bellhousing bolt.
