A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Thats where mine came from.
My friend had his motor die but the housing is fine so one day I'll build one with the good parts from each one. I think I have too many starters now! ;)

The first one's ok and the second one is the one I've been using Mark. It'll work fine and it will also work on small and big block buicks as well. If I remember right the V6 and V8 all have the same tooth count. 162 if I remember right.

Forgot to add that the first is a PMG starter and the second one is a gear reduction type so it usually spins faster.


Interesting.  I just counted the teeth on my original flexplate and there's  160.

Thanks Dave. I wasn't sure like I said.

Just remember, there is no voltage on a ground wire!  That is what he said....I went out and saved a bunch of weight by removing all the ground wires in my cars after being informed of that factoid.

I plugged that when I threw that round emissions can away.  That emissions stuff slows you way down.  Got it right after the air pump
