Starter - pmgr

[chappys4life]

Just recently picked up a 1970 gmc long bed truck yesterday. Previous owner did not have a ton of information on it but a prior owner to him swapped in what appears to be a 1980s truck 207 block that appears to be rebuilt or at least a lower miles as it runs very smooth with a edelbrock eps intake, edelbrock carb, and headers.

I am doing the general maintenance plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and oil change. While there wanted to change the starter motor over to a pmrg since I want to run new positive cables. I am newer to Chevy engines as I have owned more fords. Just checking I get the right starter. Would I lookup a 1996 Silverado 5.7 auto and use it? Was looking at this

Check out DB Electrical. Great folks and great customer service. I have bought numerous products from them and always have been impressed with their quality.

That starter will need 11610633 starter bolt. Or an equivalent.

I use the 337-1022 for a pn to cross over for the starter.
Have 4 on our fleet of old trucks.

I have 2x 3g alts in my older fords that work great.

Any idea on the db electrical starter part number?

OP, I got my PMGR starter from rockauto for around $70

Wrong pn earlier. Sorry

If the present starter is working w/o issue why change? Change for the sake of change is one of the biggest reasons for posts about how do I fix X on vehicle forums.

I know nothing about the truck. Trying to do all the maintenance and odds and ends that might cause a break down.

They're the only ones I use for starters and alternators.

Thanks. I did some googling and it seems a 96 tahoe is a good lookup vehicle. Found a gm number for one. Sent db electrical a message to confirm if that right and what one from them I should use.

They are only 3/4 hours drive from my house.

I would like to visit sometime.

I’ve had two DB starters fail on me . One in my Chevelle and the other in the 72 . Not bashing them but it turned me away from them . Been using Powermasters with out a clitch . Have them in three cars for a while now . Just my experience YMMV

I am still waiting on a reply from them to confirm it works.

When looking up a 96 tahoe starter found a wai 6449n (i was told wai is napa) and is on amazon. Might pick one up for my 55. Havent put the motor in the car yet so no rush.
