gbs said: (quoted from post at 21:23:03 02/18/15) got a 255 mf with 236 motor it had a low torque lucas starter on it,it always was tough to start cold I'm only talking about in the lower 20s most of the time about as cold as it gets around here,after a couple repairs to the lucas I got the rebuilder to get me a delco for a 175 mf,the difference was like day and night son ask me why I hadn't done it sooner, main thing it would spin the engine faster cold,sold a neighbor a 2640 after about a year he was having starting problems even with new batteries and cables I told him the starter was dragging and needed repairing, he let someone talk him into putting one of those snuff can size high torque starters on it, it never has cranked good since because of the starter gear reduction, it will turn the engine but not fast enough,it always started good for me unless the hyd pump loaded up and slowed the cranking speed, a turn or two of the steering wheel would solve that, but it's a waste of breath trying to tell them any different though
