My Thunderbird had 240k on it with the original starter and it never gave me a bit of trouble. It must be a Ford truck thing.
My dad used to have a 50-something Chevy pickup and every time he went to start it he had to hop under the truck and smack the starter a couple times with a hammer just to get it to start.

All my Fords have had either the 302 or the 351. They both use the same starter because essentially they are the same block. Always seems to be a problem with not having the correct spacing from the flywheel.
Going back to Illinois tomorrow night and not taking the Dodge. Let's see how this Buick does on road trips.

If it's the Hughes Decal, don't waste your time. First rain and it'll start to peel. I just stuck mine to my toolbox in the garage. Don't forget the heater bypass hose on the top of the water pump. Those are rarely ever reusable.

Nah, it's a naughty little Dodge decal. First thing I thought was "cool, a hughes decal" then noticed it was nothing but paper. Got myself a new bypass hose too. Any other advice is more than welcome.
