dropping the starter on a '72

[tonyk72]

I've read through the following post on removing/reinstalling a starter. I was just wondering if there would be any differences in a '72 4spd?

Is it that easy? The Haynes/Chilton manuals make it sound easy too...I have no strating problems, just want easier access to the plug wires/plugs....

Tonyk,
Having a 4 speed should make no difference. My 68 is a 4 speed and the starter removal is a breeze......

Cee

It really IS that easy. I pulled the starter to replace a worn looking solenoid. I painted both the starter and solenoid with high temp paint, installed a heat shield around the solenoid and cleaned the starter bolts. I think (not sure) that some starters may have shims to space them away from the flywheel. Just be aware that you could possibly have some shims in there. If so, just make note of it and replace them when reinstalling the starter. Otherwise a very easy project.
