RE: new starters suck to install
i tried getting to the top bolt with an open end and it was a pain in the *** i could only move the wrench about 15 degrees, the only thing i could think of to make it easier would be to come behind the headers with a real long extention on a racthet but i didn't have one that would reach, just that top bolt ate my lunch

I just put some BBK longtubes on ours and ive taken the starter in and out 3 or 4 times and it only took me about 5 minutes.

. really though i had a mustang that ate starters, now thats a PITA! even at 20 minutes a piece it got old quick.

why take it out 3 or 4 times? sounds like you did it wrong, maybe shoulda spent more time on it. really though i had a mustang that ate starters, now thats a PITA! even at 20 minutes a piece it got old quick.
