Painless GM starter

Hi, guys

I have been wondering what I should buy between two starters from Paniless. They have really good starters and they are trusted as I always hear that from some people.

I have GMC 1984 with 350 engine, but painless has a notification which makes me stop doing anything.

It is that(Note; the 51101starter is for a 168 tooth flywheel and the 51102 is for the 153 tooth flywheel. The 153 tooth is 12.85” in diameter and the 168 tooth flywheel is 14.125” in diameter).

which one is for 350 engine?
Do you recommend other brand that has stronger and trusted starter?


their web is:

this is my truck.

Re: Painless GM starter

Look at your starter, if the bolt pattern is staggered then you have a 168 tooth flywheel / flexplate. Straight across bolt pattern is the 153 tooth flywheel / flexplate. More than likely you have the 168 tooth arrangement. Hope this helps.

Re: Painless GM starter

I'm not sure about that painless one, but I would research a genuine GM high torque mini starter. When I bought mine I searched my model, engine, trans, and came up with a specific GM part number. My guess is the price is about the same if you buy from online OEM suppliers.

The 153 tooth I usually found in 50s engines or powerglides
