Does anyone have the Powermaster 3124 original look starter on their car or another Powermaster starter? If so, how does it perform and how long has it lasted? I’ve been looking at replacing the starter on my 1973 Gran Torino with a stock 302.

Never used a Powermaster starter, but do yourself a favor and look into installing a PMGR starter from DB Electrical before deciding on going back with a standard starter. I went with the PGMR for my 472(basically same starter design used on '92-'96 Ford F250/F350 EFI 460's) and will NEVER use a standard style starter again if I can help it. The PMGR starter starts MUCH easier/quicker with less amperage draw from the battery, it also allows much more room/clearance for headers if needed.
Standard on left and PGMR on right This may be the one to look at(not sure of all details) Hope this helps or at least gives you another option.

Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires. No matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere, is tired of her sh*t. Beauty is skin deep, ugliness goes clear to the bone. |

I have one from DB Electrical in my wagon and used one in my old daily driver. Both were dirt cheap and I never had a problem with either.

I also have one installed in my wagon and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Very happy with it!
EDIT: The one I have is the PowerMaster though. It wasn't $45 unfortunately... Edited by gpd294 - 10-April-2018 at 5:36AM |
