Great video man, thank you. I'm not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination but your video is so straightforward and detailed I was able to swap out my starter and she fired right up when I was done

U a blessing right now thanks ima female el driver I’m learning as I go along

what most people dont know is that the wiers to the starter will come down far enough so you can disconect the wires after you drop the starter

Thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you so much for posting. I had been trying to find a video on replacing a starter on a 305. It should be the same process for my 78 Skylark.

Helps. Same rig; same issue. Thanks.

There was a 1978 El Camino v8 that was converted to run on hydrogen (water through carb) back in 2006. Owner drove around for several thousand miles at low power, before locking in storage garage. Shop in Georgia used obsolete dual 1.5MH coils relay per cylinder,and diodes, and passed 6-7 amps current through spark plugs same time as spark, using Inverter with half wave diode. Champion plugs cross reference with same REACH can be taken apart at top to exchange 6kohm resistor for copper wire substitute- like a racing plug. Timing was retarded to minus 34 degrees. Will start and run Idle speed but for acceleration power, the carb was uncovered to increase size of main jet redrilled about 30% bigger for more water. The EGR assisted the efficiency, but later on they found out that just some of the exhaust water would also smooth out engine running if reused! The exhaust has compressed in Nitrogen from air that boosted efficiency. (Air is 78% Nitrogen) Web site shut down, but couple videos 1+2 are still there on him and son running lawnmower engine on water. S1R9A9M9 -Nathren) I studied the whole thing. He now only runs V8 on engine stand for 24hr hooked to electrical power generator, with water line .

I just installed a starter on my 64 Chevy and watched your video. Damn these things are heavy and awkward to install under a car. Thanks

your hooking us up I just bought an 86 with a 6 cylinder and it needs a starter

Great video and thanks for posting! Just purchased my starter for my 1979 Monte!

Gonna have to replace my starter this weekend she barely started this evening when i was trying to come home

Thank you for making this my starter on my 69 el Camino just broke just looking to see if it’s hard to replace

I'm about to install my new starter today. 74 elco

Thanks for that video bro! Exactly what I needed!

Great vid , but happy for ff

Your starter still doing ok

How did you connect the wire’s lol

Brother is this El Camino is 6.47L Engine?

Great video!!

Is there anyway you could help me run down the diagram I have a 77 El Camino every time I plug in the battery I blow the fusible link from my starter to my AC relay Are there any specific or any extra wires that are supposed to be hooked up to any other relays no right?

Excellent job. 👍💖

I'm replacing mine now on '86 elco I took the brake line bracket and censor out cause my starter wouldn't budge any/didn't fall out like yours

Very helpful bro thanks

Those starters are bulky, but not heavy. Lol Tilt the terminal end up and twist the starter, then you can slide it right out.

Thanks for the video bro. Hope this gets my Monte Carlo started

Man I hate them heavy ass starter... I replace 2 of them on my regal back to back.. Not a fun place to be in with your arms lol

Bro. My Elco almost started on fire. I have a fringed wire that connects to starter. My question is where do them set of wires originate from? On mine there is a metal piece that bolts to side of block. The set of wires comes from this. I wana call it a harness, but what harness? How can I get to it to rewire the torn wire from shortin out n causin a fire. Wires on starter are fine its all the way back where wires originate. What am I describing? Lol Im lookin through manuals n nothing covers it exactly. Common sense tells me ill have to replace that whole harness but how do they come out. Sorry for my messy question lol thanks though. ✌ nice elco!

Bro!! I have a 79 Monte Carlo. I’m wondering what caused you to change your starter. No crank? My fuel pump is working but my damn car won’t even crank 😒

Those starters are bulky, but not heavy. If you tilt the post terminals up and theenye

So you remove those 2 bolts holding it up first then remove the other bolts in back that are hard to get to?

MIB 2

Question. Was it not rotating when you were trying to start it? Cause I believe I have the same issue with mine

should have jacked it up way hier hommy lol

he;a oil leak right!

👀🏁🏁🏁🏁🤛🏾😎

👍🏽

Looks easier than an LQ25

that shim should be clean that is the ground to the starter
