Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

Yep... I've had to do that same thing on a few cars I've owned... just need to pay attention to what gear you are in!

Rockauto shows a big spread in prices for the new starters, and the BBB website says they are a rebuilder, with their factory in Mexico. I wonder if they are simply re-part numbering another manufaturer's starter?

Any reason why the Bosch would be so much more expensive? I thought Bosch was licensing the name, not building their own. I'd guess all of them are built in China, just like the one I purchased from Mancini for $128.

MIDI, what"s the part number on your new starter?
Thx.

Yeah that's about what I thought. I'd be replacing that NSS and double checking the circuit instead of modding it. It's an easy circuit to fix.

Know how they always build a better idiot? That's me

Before you dash off to the parts store, be careful for two reasons:

1. The off-the-shelf mini starter will not work on a '60-'61 car (or a '63-'66 Canadian-market slant-6). The drive pinion tooth count and diameter are wrong.

2. Bosch does not manufacture this kind of starter. It is a Nippondenso design; all such starters not manufactured by Nippondenso are either questionable "remanufactured" items in any of dozens of differently-branded boxes, or "100% new" Chinese copycat dreck.

Thanks SSD, I owe you one, well...prolly more than one (that carb is still on my shelf ) I have looked in to mini-starters for my app. and have yet to find one, I was hoping to get the specs as a reference from the part # and do some checking...no need to now I guess Don't mean to jack the thread, but do you know of a mini that will work?
