Damsel in distress - starting problem

Post by SammyH770 »

Hi

I've not been on here for a while! I am having problems with my '72 Charger VH 770 (318 V8 Fireball) it won't start unless the starter solenoid is whacked with a hammer so I am guessing I need a new one. Money is very tight so I want to make sure I get the right replacement, can anyone help please?

I've attached a pic of it.

Many thanks :-)

New Starter Motor

Post by Glen63 »

Got a brand new starter motor I bought for my USA 1968 Charger 318, got carried away on Rockauto one night !!!

I check the car when I got it home, already had a new starter motor.

You can have it off me for what it owes me about £75.00 its a
AC Delco 3361043 (336-1043) if that suits your car, somebody here may know.

I am only the other side of Bury St Edmunds, so might suit you.

Hi

Thanks everyone for your replies and offers. I have found an auto electrician near me who can refurb it or possibly replace it so I might take one of you up on your offer depending on how much they want to charge me for a replacement! Thanks again :)

Hi remember the American flywheels have a different number of teeth to the Aussie ones , so check first to find out which flywheel is fitted to your car, the starter motors can be interchanged by changing the pinion over!
