I would buy again and did

I have been running this starter on a stock compression 351W for eleven years and it still starts every time. So far so good. I bought this current one as a spare, but I may never need it. I also like that it comes with a sheet with the factory test results for this starter. Don't struggle with a stock type starter, get this one and drive on. Shipping was impressive. Got here free shipping (in a different state) 18 hours after ordering! It was probably a onetime thing, but still impressive.

Have to return under warrenty.

Starter seemed really good on my 69 mustang. But after a month is started grinding on my fly wheel really when I tried starting it one day. After going through the wiring and making sure spacing was good everything was tight. Came down the be the starter. I'm hoping ill have better luck with the next one.

With the previous starter I suffered with heat soak and slow or weak ability to spin the engine over after my mustang had reached operating temperature. I no longer have this issue, car starts up way faster so less of a drain on the battery.

Definitely would purchase again!
