for our circle track cars i used to work on we used special high torque starters... summit or jegs should be able to hook you up w/ something but they do cost more than a reg. off the shelf starter.. and if it's the type w/ the solonoid atatched, yhou'll have to bypass the solonoid.. but that's not hard.. anyway hope this helps

I got my hi-torque mini starter off ebay, from a company out of dallas, works great for me. they have a website seperate from ebay. (Alterstart Systems Inc - ) Alterstart Dallas Texas
this looks like the same thing i bought, on ebay, but i ended up paying about $100 for mine a couple years ago... so either his prices have changed on ebay, or there's another one he sells: Last edited by FoxBodyNut; 11-28-2006 at 08:20 PM. |

You have other problems if your starter housing is breaking.

Thats the one I have. Works great and comes with the instructions to wire it on a pre 92 car. I have to agree with Dan and Larry, 1 starter I could see being a materials defect.....5 is something different. |
