This
starter will work with *headers, as do all the
starters we sell. This new starter uses a much
newer technology than the conventional units; and
puts out more effective torque, with less size and
weight. (I think they are actually rated the same
as the "old style" starters...) This also fits the
RL411 sedan and wagon with the "R" 1600 engine and
cars with the H or G engine as long as they are
NEGATIVE GROUND systems; not POSITIVE GROUND like
the 1500 roadster was.
No
core exchange
required.
These
are usually about 7 1/4 inches long from mounting
flange to far point of other end. (The amount of
starter motor you see when it is installed is 7 1/4
inches) This shorter starter provides clearance to
the header or manifold that the original starters;
which could be 8 1/2 inches to 9 1/2 inches long;
did not.
*Most
headers. There is always the possibility of having
headers that won't allow installation of starter
without removing them. Anything is possible since
different header brands can vary dramatically in
construction.
