I think you are going to have trouble finding a complete starter. I did some quick internet searching and came up empty. However, Obsolete Chevy parts in Nashville does carry a lot of parts for the starter. Any starter shop should be able to fix yours with those parts, unless something major is gone.

Forget that. Crank it by hand. Ha!

so is there a newer starter i could make work??? i searched also and couldnt find anything either and i looked on ebay and got nothing.

does anyone no where i could find a rebuild kit???

here is what it does when you try to start it.
the battery cables get very hot after turning it over 3 times then the started gets hot and did smoke but it still trys to turn the motor over i might see if i can clean it but i think it needs a rebuild or replaced.

Yeah, right Don. You need a perfectly tuned beauty to start that nice.

What's this brain-stem doing? Why doesn't the crank free itself after the engine starts? Dumb-a$$.

Sorry 93blazer, I'm easily distracted. As far as I know, you can't use a newer starter. The tooth count is different, so you would have to change the flywheel to match.

I'd take that starter apart, clean it up and replace whatever it needs if it's not shot.

Here's a link I found for a new one.

thanks but man is it hard to find their contact info. lol im going to take the starter apart today.

 

[93blazer4dr]

so i took it apart and it looks like the brushes are wore down but everything else look and seem good i also am going to replace the coil that might be the problem.

Here are the parts Obsolete Chevy carries for your starter:

Well, the page I wanted didn't display. Put in your year and engine electrical and it is on the last page of this catalog.

i replaced the coil and hooked the starter back up and it does nothing but its getting power to it so i think its time for a rebuild kit or to get it rebuilt.
