<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">I got mine from British Car Specialist. I was able to maintain the solenoid and it's remote starter function. The only problem I encountered was destroying the clutch hydraulics which ran below the starter motor.</div>

<div style="direction: ltr;">I got my hi torque starter from AHSPARES, it’s a WOSP Performance brand . For my 67 BJ-8 . Bolt on , no mods . I left the starter relay bolted to the firewall . No wires going to it . Can’t say enough how much quicker the car starts up. Should have done it years ago. Just need to make sure the oil pressure is up cause the motor starts right up . </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"> Good Luck, Don </div>

<div style="direction: ltr; color: #3333ff;">I had the same question before adding a high-torque starter years ago but no solution is necessary. It simply works!</div>
