I am doing a ground up restoration on a 1967 Bronco. It came with the 170 ci I-6 and the three speed manual transmission. The Bronco will eventually be for my Mother as she has always wanted an early Bronco. I have put a C4 auto behind the restored 170 because my mother cannot drive stick and I wanted to keep the original motor in it. I am running into a bunch of hurdles trying to get this 170ci/c4 combo to work as the Bronco never came in this configuration. At least it never had to my knowledge. I have the Engine and C4 mounted to the frame right now after a little bit of a struggle to find the right bellhousing/backing plate/torque converter to fit. Now I cannot for the life of me find the proper starter motor for this set up. I would have thought a mustang or falcon would have had a 170 and c4 and maybe I would find the starter that way, but again I am having no luck. Can any one point me in the right direction? The bellhousing has three bolt holes for the starter and the torque converter has the ring gear on it with 132 teeth I believe. Thanks
