Not sure if this is a Ford starter, but part number SFD-0030K does have 10 teeth. Lem, can you give us a cost for this starter. may not cost enough for Curt though...…………
My cheap old 9405 is over ten years old and working fine.

I don't know what a SFD-0030K is.

Thank you Lem, I like the idea of having 10 teeth AND just the fact its a Ford starter.

I used a ford starter w a jw flywheel on a 14-1 501, had two 850 motorcraft batts to it also. worked great

You guys are above my experience level. I always used the Ford truck starter from the 90's....has 10 teeth.

Always worked with stock, JW wheel, Scat or TCI flex plates.

Part number if you don't mind?.....Thanks

It'd depend on the source.....Ford reman.. , autozone, db electric , etc. Just tell them you want a starter for a 1995 F250 460 V8 with an automatic transmission.

This starter works with a 14.6:1 compression?

Which way do you recommend:
1) start spinning the engine and then lift the ignition switch
or
2) since the beginning start spinning the engine with the ignition switch on?

Starting technique will vary depending on cam shaft overlap, gas or methanol, etc. A guy just has to do what works for their combination.

Thank you, Lem
And have you used this starter on a engine with 14:1 or more compression?
Do you think it would work with mine if it is 14.6:1 ?

Well I usually use the truck starter, but with the president's sale I ordered a Powermaster 9505 from Jegs. It has 11 teeth. Just a fyi.

FWIW.....this is the Summit starter with the "-M" Randy referred to. It also has 11 teeth.
