I'll call Powermaster on Monday, but the shaft turns BOTH directions. I think the bendix(?) is busted.
My Powermaster does not have the NOSE cover on the front of the starter. Looks like the stock Mustang (others including Ford Racing) have the NOSE cover. Will that make a difference? It seems to be a protection function.
I like the idea of having a separate starter solenoid and connections on the back, and stock parts.
The Powermaster 3803 has a 3/4" offset
Only concern is the clocking position. The stock starters have a fixed position and I hope it clears the 4" rails and the 8 qt Avid
oil pan.
the O'Reilly's 95' Mustang SVO starter was $95 (plus $25 core - and I don't have a core) and a Ford Racing starter was $295!
