I have noticed recently that the cobra has been hard to start. Long delays between turning the key and the actual cranking of the motor. Almost like a bad battery, had the battery checked and it is good. Red top Optima

The battery is brand new and I know that is not the issue. So I am considering replacing the starter. The starter that is there is huge, weighs a ton, and looks like it is a 100 years old. (exaggerting a little). I am thinking of just replacing it and wanted to see what people were using. Recommendations and just as important any to stay away from.

Little insight on the motor.

It is a 501 (429 block), 10.5:1 commpression, only about 1000 miles.

Thanks Mike
