Location: San Antonio TX | So I just lost my starter on my 61 Windsor, and nobody in town sells a direct replacement. It's a 383.
Where should I look for a new one? Right now, I'm looking at either having a guy in town rebuild it, or buying an after market from Summit/Jegs.
Any suggestions? I'd prefer new/remanufactured/rebuilt over used. |

He does. I'd just rather find a direct ready-to-go replacement as they're usually a bit cheaper. Usually. |

From my experience, parts store starters are rebuilt in a factory environment and the customer becomes the tester. A good local shop will spend more time and give the part individual attention, that's why they cost more. |
