A friend of mine has a spare starter and I put in my car, today. I had already replaced the ground strap and changed it’s position from a bolt on the bell housing to the proper hole on the frame and put in a 00 negative wire to the starter. The heavier wiring didn’t do the trick, but when I replaced the starter I thought I was using a 12 volt battery because she spun so fast. Now I think it’s time to rebuild my starter and I want to ask how difficult of a job is that? I can exchange mine for a rebuilt for about $220 + shipping. Suggestions?
