Gear-Reduction Starters
A lot of classics were delivered with big, heavy starters that require a lot of juice to spin. Their replacement, the modern gear-reduction starter, is just the opposite: These units weigh less and are easier to turn over. Thanks to the aftermarket, adapting this piece of late-model technology to an older classic is now a bolt-on affair in many cases. Gustafson Specialty Products, Moss Motors and Victoria British can help with such upgrades.
