Perhaps we could meet in Stratford at a set time?

 You can buy a new fullsize GM/AC Delco starter for $110 list! AC Delco #336-1823A or GM#88864304.

 Or put on the reduction type one for $260 list!! I have this one on my Rag, Coupe and my '70 with the 454 and spins like a damn!!! AC Delco #336-1910A or GM #88864291.

 This is providing you have the larger flywheel.

How about a FREE brand new GM solenoid? I've got one or two kicking around- I just have to find them.  How soon do you need it ? A week or so?

Thanks Vincent. I have no idea if I have the larger flywheel. How do I determine this without doing any more teardown? I'll try the GM dealer on #88864304.

 Easy... Starter with one long and one short mounting bolt straight across from each other would be the 6cyl or small ring gear. Two long and on an angle to each other, not straight across like the 6cyl one, will be the large ring gear. But being a '69, I am sure it should be the larger...

 Also note that the reduction starter will take shorter mounting bolts.... Like the 4.3's like in an S-10 and such!

I can't turn that down Barry! PM me the shipping cost and I can Paypal it to you.
A week or so is fine.

Thanks!

When I installed  big bell housing for 4 speed, I had to buy a HD starter for 88.00 from Car Craft  

I have the "old one " which was working fine with the 350 turbo 

It has the longer attach to the solenoid, so its a HD  unit     

Approx cost  Tea and donut   and trip to Stratford, unless you want me to deliver it in the pumpkin

That's a good deal Todd, (and closer and quicker than a week.)

 Plus maybe you can go for a rip in the "pumpkin"

Duh! What brain was I using when I replied and didn't know how to identify starters that way.

Bad Carl, bad.... Get back to the garage where you (I) belong....

 Sometimes, the easiest solutions are the most often overlooked.. I know from being a tech, you always look for the hardest and most complex ideas about a problem than the back to basics simple ones!!

 But yea, bad Carl... Bad, bad! (lol)
