Ok, have been reading and finally needed a new starter. 1974 Scamp with built 225 and running Clifford headers. Got a starter at O'Reily Auto Parts for a 1991 Dodge D150 with 318. Reason being the older "mini" starter wiring lugs are EXACTLY the same, newer models have a clip for trigger wire...

Yes, all the weight is off.

New upper and lower ball joints from just suspension won't take grease. What gives? Anybody have an answer.
