13.1-14.1 Compressoion 557 What's Good Starter to use?

Thanks

If you have a jacked up dry sump pan or big kick out on the starter side you may have issues with the stock unit.

Thanks for the link,i'll show him this the next time i see him.I'll also ask him what starter he has now.

Mark, my 557 has 14.5 comp, it has a db electric hi torque starter with 1 12v battery.starts great now.If he runs a locked out dizzy or crank trigger, he will need a timing retard @ intial start.

Rick,i think his initial timing is 20-22 degrees not sure though.I'll have to ask him this weekend,he works 1st shift i work 2nd shift.

I run this same setup on my 14.5:1 488. Even with the start retard, I get the motor spinning the hit the switch for the ignition. Starts every time, no issues with the db electric starter.
