Default Starter post nut.

had my headers off and coated, and put em back on, but, i will be damned if i can find the nut that goes on the
positive terminal of the starter, have tried many in my arsenal, nadda, have done some searches, nadda...

Not sure on that nut but if you need one I'm sure Vettenuts.com will have one.
Give them a call on Monday

The three appears to be M8x1.25. I have a spare starter and the nut is not brass but seems to be some kind of steel.

Only the OE starters came with the brass nut on ihem The OP can get a steel nut from the local hardware store that will serve the same purpose as the brass one. Seems ridiculous to me to buy and pay shipping for a nut from a salvage yard.
