thanks

Chelmsfor Auto Electric in Tyngsboro, 113-bridge, take right before going over bridge, stay left at ice cream place...next building on left...they rebuild them and have them in stock.

Also, call Foreign Autopsrts in either nashua, or Lowell, it could be called International Autoparts now.

$400? Dealer list is $246.57. Most common problem? There's a set of contacts in the solenoid that go bad, and they sell for under 5 bucks, and sometimes you can replace 'em in the car. The earlier starter is different. The Cap'n

Kragen shows OEM units for under $200.00 and rebuilds for under $150.00.

Why would ANYONE even WANT to buy ANYTHING from Kragen? The Cap'n
