I use Madison Starter and alternator off of Auburn Road in Rochester Hills (very easy to get to if you are near I-75) Madison Starter & Alternator 1727 E Auburn Rd Rochester, MI 48307-5508 (248) 852-2055 They don't even blink when I bring them weird stuff and are very reasonable with pricing. They've done stuff for MG T series cars, tons of AMC stuff, 1950's stuff and more for me and I've never been disappointed. ~John -----Original Message----- From: amc-list-bounces@xxxxxxx [mailto:amc-list-bounces@xxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Marano Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 10:13 AM To: amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [AMC-List] Brought home a Vigilante over the weekend... 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.
