About bald eagles? Forget that. They're disgusting creatures.

Actually on an older Ford the solenoid is on the fender and it sends power to energize the field coils which pull a metal weight down and forces the starter drive out so it meshes with the ring gear. Old guys(older than me) will often call the starter drive a bendix. They both drive the ring gear but they're far from the same thing, a bendix is spinning when it hits the gear and a starter drive engages the gear before the starter spins.

The way I learned it, and not thru regular channels, a "bendix" is what you find on a chev starter and the ford equivelant is the "over running clutch drive".

I only ever see them eating roadkill. I have yet to see one gracefully swoop down and grab a fish.

Basically vultures with fancy paint jobs?

Lots of different names, the improved ones I sell for older Delco starters is a ratcheting model called “Posi-Torque”

I have seen a Bald eagle swoop down, catch a fish, took it to a sand bar and startted ripping the fish with its beak. I was with the fam at St. George Island. It totally freaked the wife out. I thought it was some NatGeo shit happening right in front of us.


I think it's Chickens that are closest to whats left of the dinosaurs.

It was. I don't enjoy watching people or animals die. But that was the pure natural way things are designed to happen.

 

[Grumpaw]

Your absolutely right...
Picture of fried dinosaur and fried chicken. Look identical...

Omg. I love this man.

A bendix was an early starter drive design, no one has used it for a long time=probably since the very early 60's. The bendix gear is already spinning when it hits the flywheel ring gear. It causes a lot more wear and it makes the "crash" sound you hear right before a flathead starts. It was pretty crude except when you compare it to a hand crank.

I beg to differ. It appears that "car" is what's left of dinosaurs.
