[Healeys] Lucas starter numbers

[bluechip]

Hi Gordy

All the big Healeys starters BN1 through BJ8 are physically interchangeable. 
There may be some electrical variations, but they will all do the job if in 
good condition.

FWIW, the gear reduction starters available from several sources are much 
better.....Cheaper, lighter weight, more torque, more RPM, less current 
draw.  I got mine from the Dr. on ebay.
