Default NEW A/C DELCO STARTER & SHIELD

the T/As starter had been replaced by 1985, so I opted for a rebuilt A/C DELCO..I am not certain how much they changed thru the years or even what year this rebuilt core is..but I think it looks fine...I added the repop shield that was an exact match to the original and I fortunately had the original mounting hardware...since I am adding a unitized distributor, soon I will photo the new engine harness,new pos. & neg. cables and leads to the new starter...and hope it works!!Click image for larger version

If you have the old shims, put them back. If the starter whines or grinds - let the fun begin~!

Default STARTER INSTALL

I did put the original shims back...I know early cars used a starter brace...mine was missing, but the original bolt is in place so I was going to order a repop..I do not recall my 1976 having a starter brace...is anyone familiar with what years got them...and is a starter brace really important?? thanks

Original engineering thought it WAS needed and mid-70's bean counters didn't.

Removing it saved some weight and 3 LESS parts to inventory on the line....

I'm thinking that when the new lighter block came out in 75....they lost the starter brace...
