started to change the starter today. after some adjustments I think its in just right. I didn't get to finish, had to get a new(longer) battery cable and some wire. I need to extend the wires because they don't bolt in the same spot on the new jegs starter.

the stock starter was smaller than most I've seen

 

Shoulda got the hitachi, Same bolt locations as stock.

 

only hitachi I could find at kragass was like $300. the jegs one was $135 shipped

 

Bullcrap. PSL100

 

WORD UP!Got the same one myself.

 

That stock starter is really small.
Mine was long and about 20lbs.
Is this for the IROC?

I got this Powermaster from Summit for $155.
180 ft-lbs of torque and good for 12:1 compression.
What're the JEGS stats?

My wires were not quite long enough either as they stood, but were re-routable to extend them and make it work.

 

I bought mine for my IROC and it wieghs 7.5 lbs. TraviZ told me ot should be a direct replacement. Haven't needed to bolt it up yet. Probably gonna wate till the old one dies. I paid $135

 

10.5lbs, 4.41:1 gear reduction, and cranks up to 15:1 - $125.99

and this is for my 84 Z28. the starter took a dump about a month ago

 

The starter is smaller because it is for a manual transmission.

I had a brand new AC Delco for that hot rod but that's in Big Ron's Big Bird right now because it is too fat and for a crapomatic. I was glad he could find the stocker, but hey who needs a starter when you have a stick

I have that same starter and it rocks! Forget the Hitachi, it's not worth the asking price, you're going to like it

 

hey i got the same starter too except mine is the summit name and i love it protorque starters rock *** hitachi sounds like a honda starter

 

i got the same one too, guess we all know a deal when we see one huh

 

Heh, Hitachi was the cheapest for me. Was like 100 bucks because of my discount through work.

 

the stock lt1 starter is pretty small, way smaller than a stock L98 one, it's strange.

 

Hitachi starter ftw, that thing fits much better than the gear reduction starter I had before.

 

well worked on the 84 today. turns out the wiring was worst than I thought. didn't finish, had to do some other things. I'll finish this weekend.

some pics

 

Oh man bro... Sorry to see that... Just take your time bro... Looks great by the way

Looks like that thing got hot and melted off that connector. It was a real tight fit in there with those stock manifolds.

At least you can wire those more out of the way now and make them a bit longer.

On a sad note I can't come up today, but on a happy note I found the stock distributor for your C.C.C.!

 

Damn that wire fried.

 

NICE

 

finished up the starter today and I can say it started right up with out any problems.

this was the "fix" for the wiring. I just extended the wires and bolted them some what out of the way.





this will work for now but I will clean it up when I go to put the CCC stuff back on

 

Sweet

Got to love that mini-starter sound and super qwik crank.

H.O. start up

I love that exhaust. How much did that set you back? $$$
