Need mini high-torque (gear reduction) starter recommendation
I have an '80 with a ZZ3. It currently has some off-brand mini-starter that's failing 2 weeks past the warranty point. (heat is killing it after short trips). I don't care - I'll be happy to get that turd off my car.
Anyway, I need a high quality, reliable mini-starter for a 10:00 CR daily driver with headers. I've looked over a couple pages of Summitt's on-line catalog; they offer all kinds of starters with various reduction ratios, but I still don't know what ratio would be best. I'm trying to stay under $200.00 if possible 'cuz my job sucks! .
Links would be appreciated if you can provide them.
Thanks!

I don't have experience with this starter, but it might be something to consider.

Got this one a while back. The seller is great and I've had no problems with the starter (I have headers and fried alot of old style starters before getting this one) Price is right too! God bless, Sensei

Another note on the positive of Summit starters is -They don't make them. Simply market them with there name and pass on the savings to you. I personally have a Powermaster from Summit that has given me no trouble, and I'm pretty sure Powermaster makes Summit mini starters. Call and ask them, they'll tell you what you need to know.

Mid 90's S10 4.3 starters fit the large flywheel. Stagard bolt patten. The 88 and up Corvette staters fit the small flywheel. Even bolt patten. I use these starters all the time. I buy used S10 starters for 50. bucks. Just put one in my 69 this past Sat.
