So none of these are any good?

I have an extra nose cone if anyone needs one. The starter that’s presently on my engine is one where they just cut the nose cone to make it work. That’s how I got it. I’m not sure what vehicle it was supposed to fit, but I’ve heard that many starters that mount to the passenger side of the engine will work if you cut the nose cone.

They all have been chevy 6 in the past and I have advised ROCK more than once about this.

Good timing on this article, My sprint starter crapped out with no warning (internal short in the winding melted things inside a bit) this summer. To my pleasant surprise I found one on Rock Aut. Of course when it arrived it was wrong, I figured it was a chevy small block unit, but I guess it's a chevy six unit.

Since my car had it's original I just swapped the original snout over onto the new rebuilt starter and no problem.

I like Rock Auto for amazing in stock selection and really fast delivery but I've had steady issues with parts being mislabeled, they are obviously just taking what the suppliers say as verbatim and given their low employee count (hence the low prices in fairness) these issues never get addressed.

I went through three sets of rear shoes before I got the correct ones for a 69 Bonneville, I kept getting what turned out to be A body brakes. Looking carefully at the specs and pictures rather than just the application chart is an 80% solution at least.
