So the starter as of late has been either clicking like the battery’s dead,or dragging when it does engage. Methinks being a nippon denso starter it’s probably contacts. I went over the battery connections and they are fine as are the starter ones.

So I bought a contact kit. While I was doing the oil change and air filter on it today I had a look at the starter. It’ seems to be “caged” in by the forward engine mount/brace. The bottom bolts to remove the mount are easy,but Im sure there is one…

I bought my demon in november and I just started working on it this weekend. I am planing to swap in a v8, but just wanted to see if the old /6 would run.
