as the title states... i would have already tried... but the bolt on my starter is completely stripped... ill fix that in no time though...

 

and if i find that both are useless... anyone have any ideas on what one of them would run me? used or new.

 

Yep it'll fit. Cheaper to rebuild it yourself but you should be able to get one for around $45 US.

 

Are you sure it will fit? I tried to put a 79 or 80 starter onto an 85, but the gear in the starter was a different diameter and number of teeth between the two.

The 79/80 was smaller dia. with less teeth. Does it work anyway? I didn't check to see if the distance between teeth was the same.

Thanks,
Neil

 

I'm sure it will fit.

I have both a 79, 84 and an 85, and I was comparing them in the computer at work (Checker Auto)

For the SA model, it says you can also use the part number from the 81 +.
