I'm not to big on which brand...but look for one with 2 HP output...a local speed shop should be able to help out...not sure if advance sells one too...it won't be one of their rebuilt ones either if they have one available..shouldn't be that hard to find..I know Eastwood makes a good one though.

The one on my 383 stroker is a powermaster from summit racing.

Installed a mini high torque starter in my small block...solved my starting problems. I agree with Ebo, check Summit, that's where I bought mine too.

As my brothers mentioned, Powermaster is the way to go. You need to only engage the solinoid part to check the movement of the gear meshing into your flywheel. I had to shim mine to get the proper fitment.

OK  it  wasnt the  starter.
I  had a  new  battery  and  it  wasnt  fully  charged  was  1 part.
I also  had a  very  bad ground,  engine to  frame.
We charged the battery, and fixed  the  ground,and
WAH LA!!!

IT STARTED, once  we  got  gas  up  to  the  carb.
Please  see  new  thread ,  coming  soon,  for  video's.
Thanks  for  all  the  help !!
Joe

Oh Man, Joe.  That is one awesome lookin' Vette!  Hope you have it done in time for the "Vettes at the Beach" show in Sylvan Beach this year.  I'd love to see it in person.

Rick,
thanks,
Amazing what a  headache  a  bad  ground  and  some  unplugged  wires  can  cause.
I  am  feeling  much  more  comfortable  with  the  electric  portion  of  the  car.
Joe.

ps, yes i plan on being  at  sylvan beach. Hope to  meet  you  there.
