what's the favorite replacment starter for these sixes?
When I got my car the starter was dead. Luckily there are quite a few big Mopar events near me in Ohio. I came across a few starters laying on the ground at a swap meet. I talked to the guy and he didn't know what vehicles they were out of. I picked one out and holding it on the ground with my foot, applied 12 volts, the gear jumped out and it spun. Sold! It fits my 1964 225 and the wires fit perfectly. The only difference is the 2 nuts are metric. The mounting bolt and stud are the stock ones.
It's been on the road for 5 yrs. Then about 2 yrs ago it became intermittent. I did some research, bought 2 new copper contacts, replaced them and everything is good again.
I'm a traditional Mopar guy and thought I'd miss the original Hamtramck Hummingbird sound but no, it doesn't bother me. Anytime I can make my car more reliable, more safe, or lose weight, I'm gonna do it.
