1980 SouthWind w/ 454 CID Chevy engine by Arnie Kellner
Post New Message I have a 1980 SouthWind motorhome, with a 454 Chevy engine, and with ONLY 59,000 miles on it. Average that out, 2,100 miles a year...
My problem is the starter, I think might be a little small, seeing that I have 'cooked' 2 so far. The second one I used wasn't any bigger then the one in my 1993 GMC 305. Prehaps I need a reducer type starter??? Mine bolts to the bolt and not the bell housing.
Any IDEAS?? Maybe a 'Mean Green'
