Angelo, I have a different "spin" (joke intended, just making it all the more
pathetic) but the same advice as the others.
When I brought my '59 TR3A restoration project home and tore it apart, I
immediately took the bullet nose starter in to a local guy who did a great (I
guess) job of restoring it. Probably didn't need much. Then I found out that
the previous owner who had intended to restore the car, must have inadvertently
sourced the wrong starter. Had I installed it, trouble. Thanks to Randall and
others on the List, I caught the error before going live with the car, so to
speak, and sourced one of the gear reduction starters.
It is a source of not inconsiderable pride that, in the parking garage at work,
my car, albeit with electronic ignition, starts in a fraction of a second. The
general public thinks I'm one heck of a mechanic to keep such an old car
starting at a touch. Who am I to confuse them with the truth?
