Tom Telesco. Dunno his website.

 

hey snacky,if you want a good quality rebuild for your regular starter check out Mid-County auto supply,the prices are good too.

 

Don't think Tom has a web site, but here's the info on the nailhead mini-starter:

Good question Snacky6, I had no idea that there was a smaller starter available . anyone got a pic of that on the motor ?

 

Posted and borrowed without permission from Doc Frohmader's nailhead transmission adapter article.

 

Fraz, is that article online..??

also, does anyone know if Tom has a website or email address..??

Thanks..!!

 

Yeah, it's online. Ironhunter's new site. Buncha PDF's on nailhead stuff. I saved em all.

If you have broadband I could ZIP them and email them to you.

 

got to http://webrodder.com/ look under products.. nice little story and pics...

 

Hey snacky
Tom used to have a website but now it dosen't work.

and last time i was there it no longer gave contact info nor price info on his roller rockers or the starter thing.

Thank you for the pics, Looks like one helluva adapter! Anyone runnin that now ?
Ironhunters web site address ?

 

Don't know of anyone running the adapter. That one is from www.phoenixtrans.com . The other one I know of is at www.transmissionadapters.com . Both are a bit too expensive for my tastes, at $550 and $600 a piece. I'm saving pennies so I can snag a cheap (read Chevy) TH400 to pull the guts out of and put into my nailhead ST400 case.
