Rebuilt the starter today. Brushes were ground down to nubs

Went to get gas and it wouldnt start back up. thought the battery was toast but a diff battery showed otherwise.

Napa couldnt even find anything for a starter on a 305 v6. All they could find was stuff for a 305 v8. Finally a mechanic from the back came out and grabbed some brushed out of a box and said "Here's what ya need" No computer and parts book needed. If it wasnt for him the ladies at the counter woulda been tryin to sell me a whole starter for $90.00 that MIGHT be the rite one! The brushes only cost me $3.65
