OK I get the motor in and with 396 ways to spits help, I get the wiring back on right, I overtightened the nut on the battery cable to the starter. I cracked the phenolic housing. I picked up a re manufactured one from Auto zone but its for a 350.
1st question Anyone have a part number I could give them to get a starter for a 1999 Gen V Chevy 454 BB. I have a battery cable stud and two smaller studs. one marked "R" and the other marked "S". The one they offered me has only one stud. Its also tiny. If it had "R" & "S" studs I would of bought it. But it didn't.
2nd would the 350 starter be too week to crank the motor? I got a new battery hooked up. The starter clicks when I turn the key to start the engine. Then a big Ka-bang sound like it slipped off & hit the fly wheel.
It did started up for a second then stopped.
Any help would be appreciated.
