[Tigers] starter replacement

[FHSLOTH13 at aol.com]

Ron is right about checking connections first.
 
Years ago I had a bad starter on my MKII. I bought a new one only to find  
out there is a difference between a starter for and automatic trans and a 
manual  trans, at least for the 289 at that time.
 
Less years ago I replaced the starter on my MKI 260. Come to find out that  
the starter for a 260 is dimensionally different than one for a 289. The 
kid  behind the counter gave me one for a 289 even though I said 260. They 
took it  back with no problem and gave me the correct one.

The first thing you should do is check all the connections from  the
battery to the relay to the starter.   I was having some  starter issues 
this
spring and found a couple of loose connections at the  relay.   The starter
worked fine after fixing the  connections.

I believe it depends on the headers you have  but yes you may have to
loosen or remove that header.  I have not done  this so hopefully others 
will
respond.

I do recommend  you have your starter rebuilt.  I know several people
who bought and  exchanged their original Tiger starter only to find the new
one did not fit  right.   I'm not sure why they had the problem.

The original  Tiger starter Ford part # is C2OZ-11002-A

If you do take the starter  out; the engine casting # and casting date code
is in that area.  I  would be interested for my Original Tiger Engine Study.

i suspect my starter is failing. Is it difficult to  replace starter on a 
260
tiger with headers.Should i be expecting to drop  the headers to do  this.
