Slant Six Forum :: Starter

My Valiant "IS" Canadian. How does he do it?

What is different? Bell housing? Wiring? Ring gear? Accent?

How do I tell what type of starter is on my slant or more to the point, how do I tell what type of starters it will accept?

No reason to change, the car works fine.

Okay Dan... What's in the shoe box, on the second shelf above the grinder?

Your '74 has the gear-reduction starter and will accept the later mini starter if you want to use one.

RobbMc performance sells a mini starter for the 66/69 HEMI 4 SPEED cars which used the direct drive starter.

So then the rumors that Dan is a wizard are true... He can see through the miles, across the international border, right into my garage... My Valiant "IS" Canadian. How does he do it? What is different? Bell housing? Wiring? Ring gear? Accent? Thanks. Neilski

It's the same setup as used on '60-'61 slant-6s in the U.S. and everywhere else. Prestolite direct-drive starter with a switching solenoid perched atop it. It's possible to change over, but is it working presently, does the car crank acceptably? If soâ€¦why change?

No reason to change, the car works fine. Just waiting for a sunny day, and gathering information. Those Canadians really knew how to build a car. The weather morons are predicting sun for today... Hmmm???? Okay Dan... What's in the shoe box, on the second shelf above the grinder?

RobbMc performance sells a mini starter for the 66/69 HEMI 4 SPEED cars which used the direct drive starter. Those car use a 172 tooth flywheel and i dont know how many teeth the early torque converters had.Looks like with a drive gear change and maybe an adapter these could be a future option., or a source for the parts required to build one for a slant..
