Re: {Chrysler 300} Starters

BTW, in that photo album are pictures of the battery cables that Quiery makes and sells. I asked them if they could make them longer to accommodate the mini starter and they said they could, just need to know the length. I ended up using two cables joined at the starter relay and lengthened the solenoid wire. I think they had to be 6 inches longer to work. Also, you need a bolt and nut for the top of the starter.

You can't use the later gear-reduction starter on the older engines. They purposely made it so you can't install it.

I'm using a mini starter on two of my 1960 Chryslers. Got it from this place.

You do that to use longer cables as the connections are on the bottom of the starter. You also have to grind the starter adapter a little as it interferes with the block.

Hello group,

I’m sure someone has tried this before and knows the answer. I didn’t see a tech article on the website addressing it:

There is a difference, in mounting method at least, between 60-61 starters and 62-65 starters. The flange on the newer starters has a couple non-threaded mounting holes. The flange on the older style has one non-threaded hole and one threaded hole.
The question, as you have probably guessed, is can a newer starter be used on a 60-61, even temporarily? Normally the top bolt threads into the starter flange of an older starter, but you could just use a bolt and nut if installing a newer starter with non-threaded top hole.

There may (?) also be advantages to using a newer type starter. I am curious about any advantages or disadvantages.

Thanks,
dave
