I put that gear reduction starter on my last BJ-8 and was happy with it. I
got it due to the Lucas starter having internal damage, but it did spin the
motor a bit faster. The weight saving didn't matter much, given the heavy
mechanicals on the car.
All that said, I would recommend it if one's car is hard to start (and one
can't or won't do what it takes to resolve the underlying issues).
Otherwise, the stock Lucas starter is what I'd go with.
