Curt,
no problem with preaching! I am from the same congregation that you are.
Why buy an old car and then change everything to modern specification.
I try to keep my cars as near as possible to the technical specification
of their time as possible. I totally agree with you that in most cases
(there are exceptions to the rule) an correctly maintained distributor,
starter, dynamo is up to the job.
As all cables have been replaced, the ground strap is in place as it
should be, battery master switch is overhauled, batteries are brand new,
etc. etc. I am very confident that there are Lucas starters with
identical housing as the 100, that have less cranking power. So...I am
going to get me an original, rebuildable starter motor.
Anyone, maybe someone who preferred to use a modern gear reduction
starter, has a 25221 for sale??
Regards
Thomas Willig
