Starter gave up the ghost last night

[SuperNovaSS]

So was there anything wrong with the original starter that went out on the test drive or was it the same issue? I’m glad to hear you got it worked out.

That's a good question, but I don't think it was the same issue. That was a stock style starter and I was even using the starter brace that bolts to the block. That alone would have been a good ground. I'll have to bench test that starter and see what's up. It will probably work on the bench, but I don't have a way to load test it. It was a replacement/rebuilt starter anyway, so I'm not too worried about it. I have an original on my born with motor sitting in the corner.

One more thing to add on the install. I had to clearance the bellhousing dust shield on the bottom slightly. The mini starter nose is a little bigger/shaped differently than the older stock starter. Not a big deal, but it was something else...
