WillB Bill keep the starter soleniod. This will take the spike loads better that the solenoid on the starter and the ignition switch. Also you will not have to change the wiring. To install a mini starter, you are going to have to check the airgap between the gear of the starter and the bottom of the tooth on the ring gear. You want no more than .040" if possible. I have run a Tilton for 10 years. I did have a problem with the bell housing being centered on the motor, mine was .038" out. Over time it will wear out the gear on the starter. I had to replace mine. I have my headers rapped to keep the heat down in the engine compartment. I also have a shield to partial cover the starter. When I broke the car the last time, this starter is strong enought to drive the car on the trailer in first gear and not damage any thing with a good battery. It also went off the trailer and into the garage the same way. Mini starter are great, they just crank slow, and you have to be a little careful not to flood out the motor trying to start it. Rick L.
