I need a starter

[akcucv]

Does anybody know where i could get one localy, like napa? And if so do you have a part number? I think my selonoid completly cracked off of my starter. I haven't taken it down to check yet though. But i do know i need a new starter though.

Best bet is at a starter/alternator shop. Get the gear reduction model. About $200
Many on this site will say to install new bolts as well.

I don't have the part numbers, but if you want a 12v gear reduction, ask for a civi srarter for a late 80,s early 90s 6.2 at any auto parts store. Don't bother with 12v non gear reduction. The 24v non gear eductions can be had from Memphis Equipment for big $. I recently got a new gear reduction 24v starter [# MT-28] from Nations stater and alternator, They are online, These cost less than $300 They are ok but I've had to replace the soliniod [at low hours but under warrenty]. If you find a better source , let me know.

if just the nose cone housing cracked, you can have the replaced. Odds are that the starter can be rebuilt, and that would be the cheapest route.

So i got the starter out, P/N 1998454, and found the nose cone broken where the selonoid bolts to. I did find the bolt closet to the block loose, and it's definitly not the correct bolt, but same size and thread. After the starter was out i looked up it that hole and i can see a broken bolt in there. I think the original bolt broke off and they thought that bolt would hold it in, even though it wasn't actually holding anything. Plus the support bracket that everybody talks about was not there either.

I've heard of a place here locally that might be able to rebuild the starter, but where can i get the support bracket? The dealership?
