Advice Needed - Starters

[Kevins716]

I have a 1980 daily driver and it's time to replace the starter.

I've looked at both OEM and mini starters and I can't make up my mind. :confused Is one better or more reliable than the other ? Is one more of a pain to install than the other ? Any advice/suggestions/warnings would be greated appreciated. Thanks

I put a mini on my 383 and it works great. More space from exhaust.

Starter Spring

If you use the GM Starter be sure to use the replacement solenoid spring. The one that comes with the starter is not tempered enough and when it gets hot it will not fully engage. You will hear a clicking sound instead.

Master Torque XS Torque starter, sounds like a Chrysler, but really works great.
