autozone.com says that for an 83 (I just left it with my settings) a starter is 70 + 25 core.

Marcello, instead of pushing it, did you try hitting it with a hammer? BTW, you'll be there thursday right??

Have you tried hammering the starter a little bit? The brushes on the starter on my Jeep are going bad, but all I have to do is tap it a couple times with a hammer, and it starts right up.

I'd say try that in the meantime while waiting to put the other starter on.
