new thread to choose a new starter... see old thread on "stuck"engine for background.
Either I can buy a modern "high torque" starter for $200 or so ( MORE IN CANADA) or I can buy a new" Wilson " starter from FDC in Tucson at about $100 US. It is supposed to be a direct replacement for Lucas 25555 . I have never heard of this product. Does any one have experience or comment about this.
From the previous thread i think my first starter, 25521D. got hung up on the gear ring bolts but I will have to check that. The car came with old style unit (bomb?) , not appropriate for the bolt on flywheel although i know people have used them successfully
