i think banshee's idea is the best one.why spend 200 on those dorky looking thinkamagiggs
After building a high compression(10.5-1) 400, I installed 2" headers from MadDog, stock starter does not fit between oilpan/headers....don't feel like droppping header to get to starter when needed.
Im in the same boat. I just had my mini rebuilt in april. I already need to have the solenoid rebuilt. I do have the better parts installed. Going to do it one more time. If it takes a crap again im going with the external solenoid switch
