Thumbs up on the 1A auto. What I do for ANY project is look at a bunch of them and figure out which ones seem like they make the most sense. Then search on topics that I want to confirm or research more. (Replace or save transmission pan gasket?) In my case it said “inspect” the replaceable gasket. It leaked, so I bought a new one. No worries, I wanted to dump the pan a second time anyway.
Of course the amount of time I can spend sometime researching I could probably pay a mechanic. It sure is satisfying though to get a quote of $800 and put in the $180 part myself! BTW - I always try to buy the original equipment - like AC Delco stuff for my Chevy. It costs more, but on Amazon it is still half the price or more than what the mechanic will charge for the same part. Sometimes I’ll get another brand if I think it is better, like some of the “high performance” things. I think my spark plug wires that I replaced were some “better” high performance brand.
Amazon had a Delco starter for a 65 or so that was highly rated with a 25 buck rebate.
The starter works great and the rebate showed up in the window advertised.
That was an old and grimy starter I swapped out. I haven’t changed out a small block Chevy V8 starter since the mid 90s when I had a K10.
