I recieved Toyota factory training on the Nippondenso geared starter
when it ws first introduced on the 4M engine in the 1972 1/2 Mark 2
Corona and it was very well explained at that time. The information is
actually available on line - oh the joys of the internet - at

I had a '73 Corona. It was the worst piece of **** I ever drove.
That includes the Opel Caddette that had the hood latch pull out of the
body, at 55 MPH on I-75 in Cincinatti.
The Corona and the Mark 2 were totally different vehicles - but early
'70s Toyotas, and any other Japanese cars, were quite substandard to
American vehicles - but no worse than british or German vehicles of
the time. In only a few short years, that changed SIGNIFICANTLY.
