gpchris Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 use the starter from a newer 3100 or 3400. Like from a 2004 Impala LS. I have one brand new Ill sell for $60Shipped USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpchris Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 so tinny ! lol It has enough power to start a 3.4DOHC ? Yes, Infact 1997 3.4Dohcs came with this starter. It also has a cooler sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 does it just click and not start? mine does that, but always eventually starts, sometimes it just clicks and clicks for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 dead spot in the starter, yeah. Can use 3100/3400 starters or even 3.1 starters. There's actually one other type of 3x00 that's SMALL it looks like two D-cell batteries LOLLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGTP Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Cool !! I will check in junkyard saturday to find a 3.1 or 3x00 ! Thanks ALL ! Yann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismellrealbad Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 thatd be 3800....mine is so tiny and best of all sounds great. might be smaller than the one in the pic. It doesnt have that horrifically primitve cavalier or old ford starter sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 mine is so tiny This is the wrong forum for that type of discussion. It doesnt have that horrifically primitve cavalier or old ford starter sound Is it bad that I like that sound? I could pick out a W-body (or 60*V6) anywhere.

1990lumina Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 And I can pick out a Ford starter anywhere The smaller starters are permenant magnet starters while the larger ones are field coil type starters. Permenent magnet ones draw less amps from the battery and are a lot more efficent, and lighter. If my Lumina starter blew up I'd replace it with the smaller starter too.
