I tried two of these when it began to drag under pressure, turning right off and back on again after it was warmed up. Made it a pain to get gas.

Have a 347 Stroker in 66 Mustang and previous person that stroked engine left original Auto-Lite starter on engine. After doing some research I found I needed high-torque starter. Engine was always hard to start. After installing this starter it starts right up every time. No more having to pump the gas or worrying about it not starting. Thank you for offering great products.
