Ebay Alterstart Mini-Starter
Anyone try one of these mini-starters from Alterstart that are sold on Ebay? I've purchased a couple alternators from Alterstart. One for my Izusu that wasn't so good, and one for the Pontiac that works just fine. From my own experiences, I would recommend them for alternators, but what about these remanufactured mini starters?
Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PONTIAC-OLDS...cf60c0&vxp=mtr

Have had many different "little" starters like this over the years. Those without a pinion support nose piece have always given me problems, stay away from them now. The one I have now on the 461" Pontiac motor came from John Mc something everyone here raves about, been very pleased with it.

If you look at the listing its a re-manufactured starter which explains the price.

I use the mini-starter from Summit, although it costs a little more than this re-man unit on ebay. Fits. Works. Like it.

I bought this one late last year, works great.. I live in vegas where theres real heat. been in the car for 6 months no problems.. but,,, its in a track only car.. so street use, I don't know, but this guy has been doing this for 28yrs.. and offers the warranty to back it up.., I guess its better than some guy building them in their garage from kits...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
