So, need to replace starter on my 87 454. Don't trust the usual auto parts stores remans, maybe the Napa with lifetime warranty. Not a terribly hard job but don't care to lay on the ground and do it over again cause of a crappy part.
Is there any advantage to the mini starters? Engine is stock, will get a mild cam eventually but not headers
Also, is there an easy place to get to under dash or hood so I can test the continuity of the purple wire that goes to solenoid? I know it goes through firewall with others but not sure if there's a spot easy to connect to without piercing wire jackets. And also the two orange wire attached to big lug on solenoid?
