Hey all,
In an attempt to get better cold weather starting, and better starting in general, I'm thinking about upgrading the starter to a higher speed/torque unit. The starter I originally put in was a standard rebuilt unit and has been a slow cranker from day 1. Nothing wrong with it, but I'd like to upgrade. I remember reading about them, but cant seem to find the info now. It was 8 years ago, and as I was doing a complete rebuild, couldn't go top drawer for everything. What are you guys using/recommending now? Also, I know that the Dellorto/DRLA's dont have a traditional 'choke' but are there options being used? I dont drive the car in the snow, but would be great to drive on days when it is below freezing. |

OK so with my bigger engine I am going to get one of these. But it looks like the battery lead hooks on to the side of the starter and the orientation of the starters seem to put that on the top side of the starter which would be facing the trunk bottom.
See below  I ordered one like that I am sending back because there is just no way to attached the battery cable from the top. Even if it is rotated to the bottom it looks like with my headers it would be really close to the pipes.  With the exception of the the ones Mark Henry had the link to the Tilton, and the https://www.qualitypowerauto.com/item_128/P...he-Starters.htm ones this seems to be an issue. Am I missing something? |
