i think you need to summarize your findings. what starter worked, what grinding and where were actually necessary??? i'd like to switch to one of these when mine goes bad. (i'm glad you resolved it and i hope you didn't get pi$$ed at me poking fun at you)



1. Buy the mini starter from here, not Mancini or the Mopar specialty houses. This place is $78 shipped vs 150 elsewhere. Same starter:

2. Remove the plastic encased terminal extensions. Wire your cables directly to the starter.

3. Check fit and function.
If it doesn't work, grind down the housing a/o block where they interfere with ea. other.

4. If that doesn't work, grind down the nose cone.

The cables going to the starter may now be too short and rub up against the exhaust. Just do whatever adjustment you have to do there.

And no, you can rib me all you want.

How do you like it compared to the original?



When hot, my engine wouldn't crank. Now no hot start problems.
