the guys @ HONEST CHARLY say the same thing. because of the 3/8 flange all u need is the gooey stuff. but if u hav a question call SANDERSON!!!!!.................
I think they are meaning silicon in the generic sense of the word, but an RTV style is what they actually recommend.
They specifically recommend permatex px82180 ultra black silicone. Thats whay I 'll use. Im sold on the idea now. Great to get experienced opinions.
I used the ultra copper instead... Much higher temps. Put one on today... Another tomorrow. Painted them with VHT ceramic header silver. Boy they run close by the big stock starter... I may get one of the smaller starters available for small block chevies. Thanks for all the input everyone.
Not sure of the price of the hipo starters but gm started making a magnetic style starter around '98 that's smaller and lighter then the old one. The newer GM starter doesn't have the 12v kick up lug for the points (will work without it) and you need shorter bolts.
Not to hijack, but I've had good luck with these starters on my blown small block. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
