Possibly the best starter vid I have ever seen.

Thank you Summit, this helped me to understand how to correctly measure pinion and ring gear gap.

He knows the pain of starter replacement

The 99 LS1 motor in my friends Tahoe has a tiny cover that is trapped between the starter and the transmission which means you have to do the clearance check and then take the starter back off if you want to replace the cover !

What if you have a classic car that has the 3 wire starter how would you go about hooking up your yellow wire that feeds the distributor without hooking up a diode??????

How do you get the pinion gear to engage so that you can measure the clearance?

How do You get the gear to come out so you can measure it ? I see u use a paper clip will that work ? Thanks

Do you need a diode bypass wire for 67 and older?

I thought this video would help. I have the Battery + wire (2 or 4 AWG), the purple solenoid wire (10 or 12 AWG), red wire and a brown wire (possibly 10 or 12 AWG). On my old starter red and brown wires went on the same terminal as the Battery + wire, but The car isn’t cranking at this point. I originally placed the Battery + wire on the wrong terminal and it would make the bendix spin. I am not even able to duplicate that behavior now.

I got the Oldsmobile universal one for my 64 dynamic and it's going to be fun to install I can already tell

My 1970 Pontiac Firebird starter was a struggle heavy MotherLover

Well for starters, is anyone else for because of heatsoak on their starters?

Will it sound like '70's Chrysler when cranking?

So i have a bell housing that completely encloses the flywheel except the very front section . i can't take the measurements like this video . i might be able paint the pinion teeth with marking paint like setting up a rear end and inspecting the pattern it makes?

So the starter gear will retract once started

Great presentation! But heres a question, i have a 69 impala 327 2 barrel. I dont have headers. Do I really need a mini high torgue starter? Or could i just replace the OEM that is there in your opinion? I am experiencing slow crank

I have a 5.3 vortec 2000 Chevy truck and I want to know if the starter out of my 94 LT1 camero will work in my truck

So how much is it?

Very nice presentation.

I have a 1977 sbc with the 3 hole starter mounting. 168 tooth so I took the O.e.m. starter off and bought a 9200 Powermaster mini starter. I measured the to side by side and the mounting flange is .250" difference. I am beyond pissed! I have to by .250" worth of shims and hope it works! If I'd have needed my truck to run the next day I'd have been S.O.L! Someone please explain why this is?
