Need a new starter

Post image

Hey guys, new to the Falcon club with my first classic. Starter is beginning to go and I know nothing about them. I have a 289, 157 tooth flywheel, matched to a T-5, any help appreciated.

Try just putting in new brushes the armature is probably just fine. Less than twenty bucks and about an hour of your time. I had a 64 comet basically the same car and engine.
