Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I took out a Big End starter and replaced it and thought the Mancini was gonna twist the engine out of the hood. For $100 bones I was astonished!

You bolt it up, and can actually spin the assembly, and adjustwhere you want to have the terminals. It was the only starter I couold find without having to beat-uo the headers on my 71 Plymouth 4 speed, with an 11 inch flywheel and TTI headers. I promise you reat customer support and a superbly engineered starter. Join the quickest team in motorsports. Team FireCore. CustomWiresets.com

I bought one last year. It has an adjustable nose, is small, and starts my 572 16-1 motor. It's a nice piece. Don't go low budget on a starter. It'll let ya down.
