Hello everyone,
For the past year I've been using an Hi-Torque IMI-101 starter to turn over my V8 conversion. Has anyone tried anything else? Bob |

If it works so well, why change?

QUOTE(pdlightning @ Feb 5 2012, 01:52 PM)  If it works so well, why change? Lasted one year. Replacement $299. Looking for something more durable and economical. |

They are online for less than 200 bucks and I just ordered mine from Kennedy Eng for $200.
They have a IMI 101 N that is apparently more heavy duty also. |

Sure enough! I just checked their website and they're offering a variety of starters. How long ago did you get your IMI-101 from them?

Try turning retarding your ignition a bit.. I've had mine for probably 5 years.
