Re: Stocker starter
 

Have had a small TCI starter on my 350" SS car for about five years. Has been great.

M S D starter...Luke SS 311

I have a Powermaster that has worked great for 15 years. I just had it refreshed for $60. The other suggestions are good stuff just don't buy any junk. Quality in/ quality out. You should expect to pay $150 plus for a quality starter.

Re: Stocker starter
 

IMO the best is a Tilton, They last forever. Mine is 23years old. The're also one of the most expensive.

I used MSD starter #5095. It has 3 positions so it can be rotated a bit. Helped me get some clearance between the starter and the headers. The old starter touched and needed a little grinding for a bit of clearance. the MSC also has spacers included so if needed, it can be moved away from the flywheel . The gear comes out a long way so it still has full gear engagement. It appears to be a real quality piece and works well.

Thanks for you advises

My dad and I use GPE Competition Starters out of Oklahoma City on our modified motors. Never any problems. Greg and Tony are good guys to deal with. I would highly recommend them. They are both racers and know what a starter endures during a weekend.

Re: Stocker starter
 

Forgot about these guys. A lot of Div 4 cars using them.

Re: Stocker starter
 

Tilton Super Starter, the original high torque mini-starter starter and still the best.

Re: Stocker starter
 

None of them seem to last very long. I have had Tilton and Powermaster. I have a CSR Platinum on the car now. It has held up the best. Tilton lasted the least amount of time. You will probably get better results with a 16 volt system. My car is 12 volt and I have a MSD retard box for starting. Not sure what I will try next.

Re: Stocker starter
 

2X with Mike Pearson on CSR and I have the 16 volts system with one problem when a battery went dead, changed batteries and no problems in 7 years. Knock on wood....

House of Payne......Mark Payne will build you the best starter for your application and he is a racer.

He stands behind his products and often takes care of racers problems at the track..

I have his best stuff and so do all my friends wih high HP big cube engines.

He does not use Made in China parts like many others do.....and his prices are good for what you are getting...

My 900+ HP injected 565 spins over like the plugs are out with his starter.....

You spend a lot of money to make your Stock and Super Stock cars go fast so buy a good starter built by a racer from the USA

Re: Stocker starter
 

Rich, do you have contact info for House of Payne?

Re: Stocker starter
 

Joe will this starter work good with 2 12v batteries?

House of Payne Performance.com

I have his Big Dawg Starters and 139 tooth drive system.....

Big engines wreak havoc on starters if they kickback and I tore up a pile of parts early this year. Got it all working good now with Mark's help...

Re: Stocker starter
 

My first and only starter was a Tilton. One time in 15+ years it had a problem. It was making a noise it shouldn't have but still started the car. & A $25 part fixed it. That was a 12v system with a fairly high compression engine with a locked district distributor advance @ 38* to 40* and no start retard in place.
This time around I have a GPE starter as he made me one with a custom pinion gear for a reduced diameter flywheel I had built. It's a 16v starter. I haven't run it yet but I expect I will very happy with this starter.
I just hope the spark from the ignition will be able to keep up with the starter!

3510HT but that is a bulky heavy starter.
