blower starter

going to need to buy a starter coming up..bbc/12-71 blower/alcohol/22% O.D.;;;
what's things i need to look for when buying?
been on line and seen them for 24v/36v/48v and so on..would like to buy only once..at this time have no plains on going bigger or more O.D. just want to furfull my long life dream of building/own/drive a fuel altered.

 

Your best bet is an RCD starter with 36 volt. Less weight to have to drag around and less money involved once the batteries take a dump. I have been using one on 24 volts for five years or so without a minutes trouble just make sure you put good cable on it and make sure they are tight.

don, you might check and see. some of our guys run a block mounted chevy style starter on their altereds. might be easier for you.

 

I'd run a block mounted starter for what your doing but if your planning on running fuel do a 36 volt RCD setup. Just remember you need a extra crew guy to pack the starter back to the the tow vehicle. That's why I run a block mount starter that way you can still run with a minimal crew

 

Don...
we run a block mount starter and love it. we just plug in the batteries from the golf cart/truck, and it works really well. if you are going to run anything but a full load of nitro.....i would recommend this method. you running a chevy or hemi? if a hemi, i can set you up with the starter location and help you with a few things.
