Re: [AMC-List] Brought home a Vigilante over the weekend... (Metro Detroit electrical rebuilder info)

["Widiker, John D" <john.widiker@xxxxxxx>]

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.

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.
