What causes the starter to overheat on a 1956 Ford Thunderbird?

Starters can overheat because they are cranking for too long - It takes an enormous amount of amperage which = power and heat, to crank over some of the older motors- Or, the engine is stuck and the starter is trying to draw more amperage, which, creates heat, to turn it over. 10 seconds of cranking at a time is recommended with a few seconds for cooldown. If your engine won't start in that amount of time, you probably have an air/fuel delivery issue, or a weak battery that cannot turn the engine fast enough, or a bad ignition system.
