List,
Those that want a smaller starter can use the starters that come on most
late model Fords. The small starter works very well, and can be picked up at
the local junk yard (I think I paid $35 for mine some years back). Be sure
to ask for one that's for a standard trany, the automatic gear sticks out
further than the standard (about 3/8 of an inch if I remember). These
starters are lighter, more powerful and draw less current.
There are about four ways to hook up the electrics, if any one is interested
I can help.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Mini Starter
only after the engine is warmed up? it sounds like a bad live connection at
the battery that warms up as the charging circuit flows and then has high
resistance and can't deliver enough current to the starter until its cooled
down. i had the same problem and buck suggested this which was indeed the
problem. otherwise bad connections at the solenoid could also be a problem.
incidentally, i have used the basic summit mini starter for about 6 months
and it works fine. check the connections, cables and solenoid first
though.
