I started my car today and I was happy but then I thought of all the problems again. I need to get a new starter but don't know what to get. Anyone have any suggestions on what kind or where to get it?? I guess I need the 153 tooth? Should I get a hi-torque one? My comp. is 9:5 but when my car is hot and I try to restart it, it just barely turnsover. I get ppl call it heat soak!! Any advice info. would help. Thanks guys!!

 

Just get a hi-torque mini-starter and one of those insulating blankets made for them. I was having trouble with the one in my 91 with the heat. After i replaced it with a direct replacement from the dealer i had no problems.

 

So your saying to get one from the dealer??? Someone else did mention a hi torque mini but not from the dealer. I have header wrap around my exhaust pipe near the starter and it still does it but not as much! I was thinkin of getting one from Summit or Jegs! 153 tooth correct!! Anyone confirm this?

 

i bought the jegs pro startr for 146.99, its a nice piece, im puttin it in when i install my hooker lont tubes but from what i see of it , its a nice piece and its for 163/153 (i think those are the 2 teeth numbers) for sbc.

 

for ***'s sake, get the highest hp highest torque ministarter you can fit under your car, i've gone through 8 oem starters in a year and finally got one from jegs that i'm happy with....
