Well I got the motor back in..started right up. Started getting the transmission filled. Started her up like 4 times and then the starter quit engaging.........new starter. Newly rebuilt trasmision. New torque converter. Everything is under warranty so hopefully nothing major. Hopefully just a faulty starter. Battery was fully charged. Turned the motor over by hand and I smacked the starter around still not engaging...no grinding noises were being made. I'll pull the starter off later and let you guys know what I find.

Sweet them china starters are junk I got one once started car once that's all it had in it ! When they test them after rebuild they have no load on them

That would be a problem heck I am going to try my original starter it only has 27k on it but is also 48 years old lol have more faith in that one than this junk they make now.

 

[440 Charger]

I did get the one bad one out and I'm picking a new one up in the morning. I was just going to replace that one and If more turn out to be bad i was going to pull the engine and do them all..
When I got the one out there's alot of nasty behind it...

There you have learned.

I'm having a hard time finding a decently priced one

Are you looking to stay with the OEM style booster or looking for the smaller aftermarket type. When I was doing my restomods last year there were none available from the parts stores so I had Booster Dewey rebuild my original unit. They did a great job, he s just up the coast from you.

I'd be happy with either at this point.
