Default need some tips on what to buy

ok i have 1992 LT1 corvette and my starter just died, so i want to upgrade it, and replace it with something better then stock, do you guy´s know which would be good for me to buy?

And also id be ordering spark plugs + wires, so all info on what would be best, would be awsome.

the reason i sk for it here is couse im not from the states, i live in iceland, so all orders are expensive, specialy if i dont get the right parts.

thx in adv.

Because of your shipping issues I would stick with stock GM parts if you can find a supplier that with ship to you or buy locally. IMO there is no real "upgrade" to the stock starter. I did a full tune up using AC Delco ignition parts about two years ago and they all worked great as well.

Can you get NGK plugs locally? The TR55 is a good plug, I'm using them in my 92.

I got a set of Taylor wires locally from Summit Racing, but I'm sure the shipping would be crazy.

If you can get the AC-Delco locally that would be fine.

My stock starter has lasted since the car was new so unless I need something smaller when I put on the headers I will be replacing it with a stock part when it dies.

I thought about this on my LS6....

After research, the GM Starter is the way to go.
