Ok, so i thought my car was hard starting because of timing issues. Well, i think it was the starter on the way out. Last night it turned for the last time (luckily I was in my driveway). Now all I get is one "click" when I turn the key. Battery is a red top optima and appears OK.



I need to pull the starter to do a final test on it, but I'm sure it's done. I was wondering what starter options are there. Are there better ones to use (either aftermarket for from another year/model), or should I just get a standard replacement. (engine is a '57 312 with FOM/FMX hybrid trans) I want to get one right away because I'm missing quality driving time Smile!
