Subject:1.9 or 2.1 starter for a 2.1 in an 85
From:Scott Daniel - Turbovans
Date:Sun, 13 Mar 2011 20:41:09 -0700

Engine is brand new ..
starter looks 100 years old.
it's a fresh rebuilt tight 2.1 block and heads....with 1.9 engine management
and EFI.

Since it apperas to be very due for a starter anyway ...( it looks orignal
...195K miles on van  )

and given that 85's have a  smallish battery cable from batt to starter
................ ( particularily this factor )

which starter would be better..
a 1.9 one or a 2.1 one ?
manal trans.
thanks.
