Need New Starter
Have a '77 with around 10.5 compression and a old starter / solenoid. Its been heat-soaked so many times and even with a starter blanket / shield, it gets hot from the headers.
So its time for anew.
Looking at reasonable priced starters, stock looking style. Not interested in mini starters or clocking units or rebuilt cheap crap at this time.
I don't need or want a $300 starter, unless Trump sends me another check.
So, looking at Bosch and looking at Power-Master. About $180.
Anybody using those two?
Thanks

If you insist on not upgrading to a proper starter, check with any Rebuilder in your town and get yours rebuilt. Or get a 50 Buck rebuilt from AutoZone. For the same approximate year Chevy truck with a 350 in it. It is a 3510 in rebuilder's terms.

No rebuilders within 200 miles.
I see starters for less than $100. But its one of those parts that will leave you stranded with no way of repairing on the side of the road.
Looking for a new unit, medium price range with no bad reviews.

Ok. I am going to stand by my mailbox now. Anticipating your check you send Big2Bird for a mini starter.
I bought a Eddy Air Gap two weeks ago on sale. Now I'm broke.

Your cheap choice is a new solenoid and 4 brushes for the old one. But unless you find a brown cap solenoid, the heat soak will continue.

On the CVR 5323.
I used Summits advance search. Clicked on 10:1 comp ratio and that starter disappeared from the list.
I have 10.4 C.R. I know the cylinders bleed off some with cam overlap.
But those 6 vehicles you listed have high C.R too?
