I thought it was the original but I found a 1980 date cast into it, so I might as well go aftermarket. Need a decent one thats cheap. 1972 Plymouth Cuda 340 4 speed 1971 Plymouth Road Runner 383 Auto 1970 Plymouth Duster /6 Auto

This question gets asked and answered once a week. http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/elec/1.html or do a search. Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I was trying to keep this car all original (it only has 43000 on it and is #s matching) but little things like the starter keep popping up. Its cheaper to just get the mini starter and keep my eye open for a date coded original at the swaps. 1972 Plymouth Cuda 340 4 speed 1971 Plymouth Road Runner 383 Auto 1970 Plymouth Duster /6 Auto

You need to be careful of which mini you get and which header , I tried to put a mitsuibishi based mini on a 383 with 1 3/4 tube headers ... not sure of the brand ?? ... and the starter was on the header tube , I had to dent the tube a lot to clear the std gear reduction unit .

If I purchased headers down the road that won't work with the 440 source mini starter, would I be able to use that starter on one of my 340s? 1972 Plymouth Cuda 340 4 speed 1971 Plymouth Road Runner 383 Auto 1970 Plymouth Duster /6 Auto

And he supports Moparts by using ad space on this forum. Pay attention to how the standard mini starter is kicked out toward the header. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...rue#Post5111743 https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...rue#Post5112198 Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.

Bought the last one they brought to Carlisle a number of years ago and had to hear it from a few Moparts members that wanted one and were there later. Just had to unbolt the usual adapter that needs removing. Ride eternal, shiny and chrome

Clears my TTi headers fine. As stated above, the plastic wiring lug adapter had to be removed as it was contacting the engine block. I'll finish putting everything back together, and post after it fires. Update! Works great! Car fires up instantly. Last edited by jgale; 05/21/09 02:26 PM.
