IML: 196o 1961 starter resources

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are shops in most metro areas that rebuild
starters.  Look in the yellow pages under
automotive/electric.

Walk in with a case of beer and a smile and you may
get faster service.  Ask if they do work on the
premises, though when you call, especially if you have
more than one choice - you don't want a place that
ships it away.

Use a tool to mark your metal case to ID it, show them
the mark, and tell them that you want that one rebuilt
so that they are less likely to lose it.  Check for
the mark when you get it back - you'll know you have
the same unit that way.

 

Common's Auto Parts is where I get my stuff, and Mike
can find almost anything that is still available -
they've been in business since 1940 and he knows
Chrysler inside out.

If you contact him, please be prepared to place your
order and spend money so that you don't waste his time
- they're a busy place.


If he can't get it, you'll be rebuilding what you have
no matter what, as he's very well connected regarding
obscure Chrysler items.


You'd be money ahead to replace the starter relay and
battery cables at the same time so that the system is
completely redone and has no weak links to
sequentially fail on you.
