[Tigers] Starter

I am happy to report the NAPA starter (below) I installed 5 years ago is still working fine. FYI...I have a 157 tooth flywheel, but according to Ron’s info sheet the starter for 157 & 160 tooth flywheels should be the same.

Hi all

 

After some problems this summer, I had my starter replaced with a more current high torque Ford PMGR starter (Napa Part # 4N9240...$144)) based upon some recommendations from this List. It is the same starter as for the early 90s Mustang 302. In addition to being more efficient it is smaller thereby allowing for some room between the exhaust header and the starter, which I was lead to believe would help keep down the heat.

 

Other than some adjustments to the wiring to accommodate the solenoid built right onto the starter, it was a perfect fit. If you are interested I can forward a wiring diagram that Tom Parker provided me. I believe Tom also has this starter installed.

 

OBTW...consistent with Ron's advice did NOT turn in the old starter.

By the way, I use a PMGR starter on my tiger and it works very well!! Plus you can still use the original ford relay and solenoid with a minor wiring change that is reversible.

My 1966 Tiger with a  260 is in need of a new starter.  I gave the parts guy the OEM part number and he ordered a Motorcraft which does not fit. Any idea where I might find the correct starter?
