I am considering installing a mini starter in my 66 442 due to hot start issues. (headers) On a stock starter, there is a hole to bolt on the bracket for the clutch return spring. Do the mini starters have a similar hole? If not, where did you hook the spring?

 

Probably not, but you should be able to fab something to work easily.

 

Improvise.
Tab on header which you provide
longer wire to any convenient anchor
Your added starter tab
etc.

 

I made a tab and fastened it to a header tube with a hose clamp.

 

Does anyone have any experience with a Mini Starter of the SNAP brand? I see this one on eBay for 139.99.......http://www.ebay.com/itm/271635898052...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Thoughts?

 

Randy, I have a mini-starter on both of my cars and they both are sticks. I made brackets (actually used the starter brace) and both work great. Lots more room with the smaller starter. Both of my cars are small-blocks with Hooker headers, but they all are close to being the same.

 

Mini starters on all my stuff. They are the cat's meow. Fab something and get er done.

 

Great idea. I still have the one for my car.
Thanks Dave!
