FE starters
By John - 02/15/2001 1:08:24 AM; IP 24.94.10.209
I have owned two FE mustangs with Hooker Super Comps, and also own a starter and alternator shop in SoCal. I've built several new stock bodied FE starters with new high torque internal components. With a 750CCA battery and heavy duty cables I have had no problems. I also tried several aftermarket FE starters and could not make any of them fit properly. The Hitachi/ Nissan 280ZX units will fit, but I personally don't think much of their reliability and repair prices. A rebuild is usually more than $100 and I have seen several with broken gear shafts. I am not trying to turn this into a self serving forum, just thought I would throw in my two cents worth.
