Thanks Rich. You know I often forget how tricky it is even after the many times I've removed this OEM starter. I must say that this mini-starter replacement was a pleasant and enjoyable experiance. I love the sound when I cranked her up. Totally differant then that boat anchor starter. The car sounded like a well done restoration job...sweet. LOL! It was funny when I went to put away the broken starter in my spares box I found that I already had a new starter, (a heavy OEM style).

does anyone know what year and model the mini starter is, if i wanted to go to autozone and just pick one up?

Double check, but I'm pretty sure it's the same as a 1994-96 Impala SS.

Look in to an LT4 starter.
It's from a '96 Corvette Grand Sport.

Or save some $ and do a search on evilbay for SBC mini starter.

A new starter no. 6470N for a Buick is $69.95 from Amazon.

Smokin deal I wonder if it has nylon gears though?

I was weary of the el cheapos and I drive my car a lot so I went for the auto zone lt4 vette lifetime warranty starter. Used a Buick starter as a core and when its was all done it was just under a hundred bucks.

It's been well over a year now since I got my starter from:

http://www.dbelectrical.com/p-10547...-jeep-mini-starter-long-short-mt-sdr0059.aspx

......and nothing beats it. PERIOD!

I highly recommend it. It's flawless and value cannot be beat. And that sound....very special and unique like a well oiled sports machine.

hello people; I'd like to here the unique sound of the jeep starter if that's possible. I still have the stock starter with my mini in the box.

Bought an LT4 from a '96 Corvette GS from Advanced Auto Parts online.

35% off coupon MISSUG41

Total was $82 after taxes and after I received Core Charge.
Guy at counter said as long as they get a starter back all is good.

I just installed one of these tonite, I creamed my khaki pants it sounds so good. Only issue I had was my fusable links where on the outside of the dipstick tube. They needed to go under, so after I fixed that they barely reached the starter but all is good.

Steve,

I had to soak my khakis in detergent to get the stain out after the first time we started mine, I love the sound of that thing. Only bad thing was that my batt terminals were way off from factory and the leads were too short. Wound up dropping coin on a new Napa Gold. It was about the only damn thing we didn't change on the car so why not? So, my inexpensive LT4 starter project wound up costing an extra $125...

John
