threw the starter in the 350, went to wind her over and it is sparking massively between the solenoid and motor body, even blew the wire off the terminal (not the main cable), what on earth is causing that, was turning the engine over and noticed it sparking like mad. Just a dirty old lucas starter, has had the solenoid cap replaced

Found it , Stop looking, one of the terminals from the Solenoid to the motor was touching the motor body causing it to arc, Its going to be a spare anyway, Got a reduction starter coming.
