I second what Gary said about the RobbMc starter. I bought one I think two seasons ago. No issues. It is totally "clockable" to work with headers.
One minor surprise: There was a paper included with the packing which states that in some instances grinding may be required to the block to allow the starter to seat. Sure enough, mine wouldn't go in the hole. Instead of trying to grind on the block, I relieved the aluminum nose of the starter. All good!
Good Luck,
Lyle

Members--I recently purchased a Dodge 62 ht. with a 500 cu. in. 440. The starter drags and needs to be replaced. It has headers but appears to have good clearance. What torquey starter would you recommend? Is the small Dakota size good or what recommendations do you have.This is the 6th 62 I have had and will be my last due to age and health. Once I fix the starting issues it will be for sale. Body is excellent with driver quality paint . Drive train is solid with auto and a dana 3.73 Car is located in Illinois. Any interest call 815-998-2644 .
