    UGH!!! Starter Issue. HELP!

    UGH!!! Starter Issue. HELP!

    I figured it out.... by accident. Are you guys ready for this..? After all this, all the great suggestions and brain storming and a new starter... you won't imagine. I got under there for the last time before I pulled the new starter off and had the wife crank it over one more time so I...

    UGH!!! Starter Issue. HELP!

    Okay, there went $100+ for a new starter, all looks great, turn the key... the same damn thing, although this starter sounds quite stronger.

    PLEASE help - 72 Duster - "Mystery Wires"

    All of you input is really intreguing, and makes sense, based on what I've shared. I had a good conversation with a fellow FABO yesterday and together we figured it out.... we think. The previous owner had an MSD-6AL installed (as I said), and I'm not removing it. This install removed the...
