I got myself a late hemi Ram manual transmission starter for my not-terribly-secret, but not ready for prime time, project. $45 and $25 core. I figure a small, light, reliable, powerful starter for $70 is fair.

Thanks for posting. I assume this will fit our old Mopar Slants? What is year range?

Lou, see threads here where I propose this starter and call out its applications, and here and here for sights and sounds of Rick Covalt installing and testing it.

My apologies for the brief post, but I was, and am, using my phone. This starter I found through car-part.com and it was at an LKQ in Idaho. They shipped it for free to Portland where I picked it up. Thanks to Dan for the original research and Rick and Bryan for the fit and operational testing! I'm going to drill out the threaded hole, give it a quick cleaning and run it!

Just curious, how much (little) does that starter weigh?

I'm not sure my digital kitchen scale will tell me directly, but I'll try it later. If I had to guess I'd say 5 to 6 lbs. I bought it mostly for its size and power.

I need to recalibrate my internal scale. With the little stub of battery cable the wreckers left on the starter it's 3 lb 3oz!

Wow, that is light. Amazing how heavy late model cars are given how light many of the individual parts are...

The "magic smoke" in all those gizmos is very heavy

The lightest of the old mini starters appears to be around 7 lbs. In this 2001 Hot Rod article the late model starter used was 10 lbs 7 oz and the original "3257" Chrysler starter was 15 lbs 9 oz. So the weight savings now available is about 12 lbs 6 oz. http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/261 ... e-install/

great upgrade for a baby running a SM (v8) about a creeper but not so great for someone like me (stock) who can take out and put back in 15 pound starter with 1.5 hands in about 5 minutes.

I might question your real scale, Josh. I just bought a Denso reman version of this starter and it is 7.0 lbs on a nice digital scale. The factory Mopar one is 1/2 as light??

Be careful with weight reduction plans, folks...

Still, 7 lbs is 1 lb lighter than my lightest "old" mini starter and 4 lbs less than the mini starter I pulled out of the 68 Dart.

Best,
Lou
