need a good mini starter
Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to break down and buy a new starter. I bought a heat shield for my starter, but it's still overheating. I want to buy a mini starter, but don't know which one to get. I've found a few online, but thought I'd get some opinions before I bought one. Here's a few that I've been looking at...
SBC CHEVY 350 454 MINI STARTER GMC 396 BIG BLOCK
SUM-820323
Corvette Gear Reduction Starter
High Torque Bow Tie Mini Starter

None of the above. Use the Delco mini-starter that looks like a shrunken version of the traditional starter. Any good chain parts store should have them rebuilt, I got mine at AutoZone.

Staggered pattern, it was designed for the BB502 engine. I think, but I'm nowhere near sure, that their part number is 25003. With the core charge, it looks to be around $150.

Advance Auto has an Autolite rebuilt, stock starter for the 88-91 Corvette for $107 with a $41 core. If you are a risk taker, you can get the house brand cheaper. If you go to their website (www.advanceautoparts.com), you can see a photo. The 88-91 C4s used a Nipendenso mini-starter. That's what I have on my car. It works with the small flexplate.
