About 15 years ago the starter on my '34 roadster went out. I gave the starter to a member of our club who specialized in generator and starter repairs. He said that it needed a part which he didn't have and that it would take a while to get it fixed. After a few weeks I got tired of waiting so I ordered a Stump-Puller starter from one of the vendors. I received this starter on the same day as I received my old starter back but decided to install the Stump-Puller on the car. I’ll never go back. This starter is so quiet that I can hardly hear it and when I touch the starter button that I have on the dash the engine starts silently and immediately. I met 3 Model A guys a few weeks ago and they were amazed how quiet it was.
