A. G. Olphart Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Starter number 3 looked to me to be the optimal choice for a SBC Z, so I hunted one down at my local junk yard. The only one they had was really cruddy, but I bought it figuring that I would rebuild it. WRONG! The starter is small because it uses permanent magnets rather than field coils, and Mitchell's manual states that it must be replaced, not repaired. That's the bad news. The good news is that since they've now been in production for a while and are used in several applications, the price has come down. By Googling with the part number for the 95 pickup starter (part #9000786, series PG-260), I found replacement starters for the application for as low as $59.95. Here's a link for the low ball outfit; I've never dealt with them and don't know about shipping, but the price is right: http://www.autoelectricpart.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SAEE&Product_Code=S6449N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
