HI Mud,
Based on your post, I take it that the original starter has gone to Chevy Heaven.
If you need assistance with a "rebuild" to correct factory performance and appearance - let me know - I can set this up.
The 292 is a newer casting block and the starter will not work on the '56 engine block. The nose, armature, and solenoid are considerably different (which I am sure you know).
