Re: [AMC-List] Brought home a Vigilante over the weekend...

[Peter Marano <PMarano@xxxxxxxxx>]

Someone had installed the Delco starter and cut the pinion snubber 
bracket.  I wanted to replace the pinion snubber and since I did not 
have the Prestolite starter but I did have Motorcraft starters... 

The gear, gear depth and the diameter of the mounting hole are correct; 
it seems I had to trim the flange and be creative with the mounting 
hardware.

The 327 turned over much faster with the Motorcraft starter.
