| Well got a problem, the starter is probably about to $hit the bed so I was wondering if there is a different type of starter I could get the would be a little more better?
Thanks guys | |

| I do not know if the Corvette starters will bolt up to an LO3/5. This might be a good question to put on ISSF. | |

| You might have some luck by going to your local parts store and see what they have that is still available in block-mount starters for Chevy V-8's. Read this here thread: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Just make sure that if you get a beefier starter, that the bolts are sufficiently long & strong enough. | |

| Great... its been tryin to want to start and eventually will after a few sometimes long drawn cranks...
I just left my cousins shop he charged my a/c which is now COLD lol but its seeming like it wants to die, lights were dimming the whole bit... he said maybe loose terminal or loose wire on the starter...
I also noticed this morning upon first start up the clock read 12:00...

| Might wanna check things over sooner, rather than later. You might be overheating a connection. | |

| You could have a bad alternator, or a bad connection at the battery. If the RPMs are dropping, it could be a lot of other issues, from grounds to a weak fuel pump. If the clock started over, you may have a hot at all times issue. | |

| Well the starter definitely went, along with my ac delco battery...
Question is whats the most biggest battery I can put in the Wagon?
The starter is covered under warranty thats good, i guess... | |

| Well... if you can swing it, this [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] will do the job. A bit on the overkill side of things though. You can always go with a gear reduction [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] like this. Really not that pricey either. | |

| Do those geared starters have a good track record over several years in the snow & rust belt? They ARE getting cheaper. | |
