That`s a great deal. I should get one for my 53 M350 to see if it`ll start any better.......

keith also suggested to me to keep the 6v starter on the 12 v system becuse the 12v starters for them are garbage in his opinion. They are made crappy and hes had nothing but problems with them so even when he build motors for people he includes the 6v one

Thats a really good tip Chris. Did he ever say what made the 6v ones so much better? Like just better quality, better components, ...?

I believe a 6 volt starter can handle more amps. I'm prob full of S!$t though. But its like horsepower is volts and torque is amps. Torque is what counts.
