Has any Canadians change over to the mini starter, like a 318ci. did you have to change the gear from a 10 tooth to a 9 tooth to make it work,
Did you have to cut the starter housing ?

Thanks for your time

Mike

If I remember right a starter from a 2000 Dodge ram will work and is small as a mini. Someone will post a yay or negh to this latter......

it depends on the year of motor, we used the 9 tooth starter until 67 up here.

i dont think you can easily swap gears, i think the best bet is to swap torque converters

The Canadian-built cars through '66 (not '67) originally used a direct-drive starter with a 25mm-diameter, 9-tooth pinion. It has the same bolt pattern as the gear-reduction starter with the 32mm-diameter, 10-tooth pinion. To use a mini starter on a '60-'66 Canadian-built slant-6, you must either install a flywheel or torque converter with the correct ring gear for the large-pinion starter, or install a smaller pinion on the mini starter. See here (I no longer have any such parts)

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

On early cars swapping to the later bolt patterns and systems makes long term sense.

If you travel with your car you will be thankful to be buying a stock Dakoto starter instead of a modified one.......or a Canadian only 50 year old part.
