Default Re: Starter Part & Date Number Question

If it is a 500cu.in. starter for a cadillac,that was a trick that racers used to get these engines started. If it could start a 500 cube caddy, it would start a hot Chevy. Paul

If this is a 500 cube Caddy starter, it's only due to happenstance, because neither of the car's two previous owners were into racer's tricks

Bill,
I'd highly recomend you call John Pirkle

[email protected]

he's probably got the starter and date you need and at reasonable prices

Jim,

Thanks for that tip I knew John did restorations on electrical components, but wasn't aware he had components to sell. I currently have something in the works, but if it doesn't pan out, I will give John a call.
