Upgrade your Pontiac or Oldsmobile V8 with a compact high-torque mini starter engineered for dependable cranking performance and improved engine bay clearance. Featuring a 1.9 horsepower motor and 4.0:1 gear reduction ratio, this starter delivers reliable starting power for street, restoration, and performance applications.

Compatible with many Pontiac and Oldsmobile 350, 400, and 455 engine combinations, this starter is designed to provide strong cranking performance while maintaining a lightweight, compact footprint. The gear reduction design helps increase torque output for dependable hot and cold starts, including demanding higher-compression engine combinations.

The compact Nippondenso-style housing creates additional clearance around headers, exhaust systems, oil pans, and other tight engine bay components where larger factory-style starters can create fitment challenges. An adjustable billet aluminum mounting block allows easier starter positioning and installation flexibility across a wide range of Pontiac and Oldsmobile applications.

Rated for engine combinations up to approximately 12.0:1 compression ratio, this starter is engineered to deliver reliable performance for classic muscle cars, restoration projects, and custom builds. The black finish adds a bright show-quality appearance while maintaining the durability needed for long-term use.

Whether you're replacing a worn factory starter in a Pontiac GTO, Firebird, Trans Am, LeMans, Catalina, or an Oldsmobile Cutlass, 442, or Delta 88, this high-torque mini starter delivers the power, clearance, and reliability needed for dependable engine starts.
