Default Same starter?: 93 L27 vs L67

My starter solenoid in the 93 is on the fritz. It drops out during cranking or fails to engage the starter at all more and more frequently. I have a starter from an L27 parts engine and was wondering if it is the same as the ones found on the L67. I might be mistaken but I thought I once read that they were different due to the one for the L67 was geared or something to that effect.

yeah... it was one of my red car threads. Question on the issue. Does yours starter spin when started, but just not catch, or is this something that isn't even allowing it to spin? I know on the 93 that the starter spins, but doesn't catch all the time, so that part is probably bad, but if there is something prior to that, it might be fine and I might be able to get it. Also, are the 92-93 starters the same?

The starter spins like it should every time. It'* just that the solenoid doesn't engage the starter to the flywheel or kicks out during cranking. It seems to be worse after the car sits for several hours. Quick stop & go'* usually aren't a problem.

Are the solenoids servicable as a separate part?

That is the term I remember reading about. That'* what made me think there was a difference.

Randy they should be servicable to the point that most likely it is full of gunk and stuff and that'* keeping it from operating properly. Next to Dan'* shop (behind lowes in springfield) is a place that services / repairs starters and alternators.

If you need a loaner just grab one of mine, keys are on the rack at the top of the stairs

napa # 2465116 69 dollars if u wanted to purchase one with a warranty
Kenn...is that a normally stocked item in most Napa stores? And where does the part number end..lol
yes it is and the par number is 2465116 is the number it cost 69 bucks
Kenn, Just had to ask... What years and models does that starter cross over to in the Bonneville line?

I'm going to have to guess and say that that would be a Direct drive starter due to the price as the Gear reduced units are very expensive...
do u want part numbers for starters and years for the bonnie??


Quick Reply: Same starter?: 93 L27 vs L67
