Starter issues?? I believe my starter is going out...I noticed a bunch of GM starters on E-bay, will any starter work on our cars as long as it is for a 168 tooth flywheel?
Last winter in the mornings when I went out to start the car I noticed that when I turned the key nothing would happen. I would hold the key there for about 5 seconds then I could hear the starter click, and then the car would turn right over with no problem. I figure that means the starter is going out, and I better fix it before winter gets here again. I got under the car and all the connections look fine so I don't know what else it could be.

Re: Starter issues?? Unless they are specially for an LS1, I believe no.
The mounting is slighly different than a regular SB unit (the starter mounting surface where it bolts to the engine slopes down on both sides from the edge, ending in a slight indentation in the middle compared to being flat on a std SB).
My starter got very noisey, so I ended up with a Powermaster unit, which was a different part number than regular SB offerings.
