Starter Replacement on a 5kq

[Kneale Brownson]

The top hole in the starter is the threaded one.  The bottom gets the
through-bolt and nut.  Top bolts go through from the tranny side.  Bottom
bolts do to except on the V8, where the bottom bolt goes through from the
starter side.

It's a good idea to clean the area where the starter nose goes.  They're
often dirty and oily and I think that contact with the bell housing serves
as a ground?????
