which one,,, i picked a powermaster PWM-9502 from summit, had to shim it to get it to work right.

 

Its a powermaster. The only numbers is on a sticker 9600

 

thats a starter for a gen 1 sbc. you need one for a lt1 gen 2 sbc.

 

Seriously. How the heck did it work before. Thats crazy. Dang those arent cheap i bet.

 

so it worked before the motor was changed and its on the same motor? that is strange. yah it shows as for a gen 1 sbc. i looked at em but the app wasnt right so i went with the other. they are actually less than stock if i remember right.

 

I just looked it up on my phone. I have been trying to mount it with the solenoid uo with the bat post facing the engine....it mounts the other way...lol. Im such a idoit!

 

Well...i confirmed it. Starter works fine if you put it on correctly. Wow i feel dumb. Ive never seen one with the battery studs facing out. Lesson learned and will not happen again. Thanks for you help guys. Tomorrow will be the first time i get to hear it run in person, instead of watching videos of it...lol

 

cool. now let us hear it. lol. it looked like that is a universal style starter so im not surprised with the mishap.

 

Just wanted to say thanks for the help guys. I fired the car up today for the first time. Heres a quick video of it.

Sounds pretty good. But how were you able to keep the engine running with the car on it's side like that?
