70 Camaro SS Project "PROFORM High Torque Mini Starter"

Installing a PROFORM mini high torque starter. Had some issues with fitment and the directions that came with the starter. Headers were in the way and had to install spacers to get the right flexplate to starter gear clearance. Hopefully this helps others that are trying to install a mini starter.

I just got my new starter via Fed Ex. Part # PCE393 all chrome from PROCOMP electronics for my 350 chevy. Thanks for the video i didnt know where that spacer washer went since my starter came with no instructions. Nice info. Thanks!

That’s a great video man.

Nice work.

[@russelhouck143]

Exact same problem great vid

[@kevinpeterson4098]

Just seeing your video. How well did it hold up? My remanufactured stock starter just burned the solenoid. So I'm thinking this starter might be the ticket? Just gotta find out what bolt pattern I have?

[@farmboy30117]

Nice that it's so adjustable!

[@mossman381]

Yeah, I think I remember you having a lot of trouble with a starter in your dually.

big job big hammer

[@larrybroad8746]

if you have 168 tooth you must use a staggerd bolt pattern starter with my 1970 LT1 z28 had to have a starter with 3 bolt holes on the starter. if you need to get the ring gear closer shim one side of the starter. Larry B

[@larrybroad8746]

most mini starters are universal if they have the 3 bolt holes the have 10 teeth so they will work 153 or 168

Do you really notice a difference with a reduction gear starter? A buddy of mine was saying he gets his starters and alternators from Mean Green. My Suburban's starter is acting up, so I may need to work on that soon. I know I need a higher output alternator in that truck, too.

[@mossman381]

I think you will only notice the gear reduction starter if you have a high compression motor. This car is suppose to have the original 70 motor with the Z28 cam. Should have at least 10.25:1 compression. We bought a high torque starter for one of our tractors and it really turns the motor over way better than the old starter did.

Good morning

[@wararies0885]

What was the part number on that proform starter?

[@mossman381]

I would have to look when I get in the shop tomorrow. They have them on the shelf at Advance Auto.

[@coupedeville9741]

Is there a video of you actually starting this specific starter??? I just about one, hoping it give my ride the right start up sound I’m looking for?

[@mossman381]

This starter is on the 70 Camaro. Any video of it starting it will have this starter on it. This is the latest video of it starting. czcams.com/video/kHh9Kv--N8U/video.html
