Took advantage of a cold winter day and headed down to Mom's place for a work day today on the 409 to correct a few things -

First up was replacing the generic starter that was on the car. I was able to source a correctly dated and rebuilt unit and made the swap. After spending some some time investigating I decided it was easier to tackle this by removing the RH exhaust manifold rather than fight the wiring blindly and wrestle the starter out - was much easier this way. No rust issues to contend with so removing the 7 bolts and sliding the manifold out of the way didn't take too long. Found a loose lower control arm cross shaft bolt while looking around so took care of that too.
