Do 68' HEMI cars with 727's have a direct drive starter or just the stick cars? Does anybody know why they used them in the hemi cars.

The autos use the normal gear reduction starter. Whoever the engineer was that designed the direct drive abortion should have been slowly beaten to death with a ballpeen hammer. Dave

Yep. Direct drive starters were only used on 4 speed 426 hemi cars from 1966 to 1969.

As a side note, we offer a gear reduction starter that bolts in place of the direct drive starter:
