Default Consensus pick on the best hi-torque mini starter?

Welp, my spirit offically broke on this starter replacement project.

Even after FINALLY getting an 11/16ths on the support bracket to rotate it out of the way... the screwing around continues getting the parts in place.

Thus, I have officially entered the 'fuggit' phase of the project and am ready to take the wise advice to box up the steel football and go modern.

Fire away... and many thanks!

My brother and I both have the Powermaster 9510XS in our GTOs and we both love them. Quality product built in the US outside of Chicago by a company that stands behind what they sell.

I used Summit's:

So far, I'm impressed with the torque and rpm speed. No problem cranking with an empty float bowl to a quick start.

+1 on the 9510XS here too. Great starter!
