I have a 51 coupe with 54 engine converted to 12 volt and I want to use a 12 starter. I have heard that the 55-57 starter will work. I have found a starter but now I need a flexplate. I have read also that a flex plate from 55-62 will work. I have the engine and trans out and I would like to get the flex plate before I start putting it back together. Thanks, Pete 1951 styline deluxe sport coupe w/54 engine and power glide
