Hello from Atlanta, Ga, Pokey! It sounds like a bad starter----BusDepot has a wonderful NEW Bosch starter for 80-81 manual transmissions on their bargain page for US$99.99--- Compare this to a FLAPS rebuild for $US70.00.... Do however check all your electrical connections for tightness and corrosion---a wire brush to them and a retightening works wonders on old and new starters. Good luck! Regards, Mike Nichols 2--'81's |
