If you go on Ebay there are 2 listed.One with drive and one without for 12 volt.If you do an internet search for Ford Y block starter there are several listings including one for a mini high torque starter for $179.00 I believe plus shipping.Your local auto electric shop MAY be able to rebuild yours into 12 volt or they may be able to get a rebuilt 12 volt one exchange.The 12 volt starters are all the same from 56-64.If you do a search under "starter motor" in the little box at top of page there is info there too.Click the "search" box at top of page.
