What brands have you guys had the best luck with ??
Which one fit the best ??
And yes, I tried the search feature with no results.
Thanks in advance,

I'm using a CVR I bought from Gessford. It works fine, but they are pricey. Others seem to have good luck with the RobbMc starter.
Read some of the threads on the many troubles others have had with the various brands of mini starters. Most seem to revolve around the fitment to the bellhousing and the engagement of the starter drive gear with the flywheel. Beware. Double check it.
Honestly, though, unless you are having some kind of problem, why the heck would you change the stock Ford one? Simpler is nearly always better. Just wanting to be a good citizen and stimulate the economy?
