What is good replacement mini HP starter that will kick over a Hi compression 440 once it gets warm? I have swapped to my 2nd Chrysler mini starter and a 1000amp battery , but still same results when motor warm. Hard to start. I have total timing in at 35 degrees on a Fire Core distributor. I have played with initial timing and adjusted the slot in distributor but if I give too much in the slot, it doesn't want to idle good, but setting the advance slot in the center is kicking too much when engine is warm. I have gone everywhere in between... I also run the Rev-n-nator orange box....I know MSD has a set up where there is near zero dwell at starting but I want to keep a stock look. Car goes to drag strip only. 1971 Cuda.
Do the 250.00 type starters work better for a hi compression engine? I am at 240lbs cranking compression.
