Hi Gang...
More starting frustration...

Replace the ignition switch this weekend, and still intermittent
starting.  Guess that means it's the starter/solenoid.  Is replacement on a
syncro (w/ a Tiico engine) something any bozo w/ a couple wrenches and
jackstands can do, or is it so treacherous a job that I need to take it to
a pro?  Looking at it, the job seems quite simple, save for one problem-
ACCESS.  How do I get to the various bolts/ nuts?  Has anyone done a write
up on starter removal/replacement on a syncro (I tried searching the
archives and came up blank).

I think that the syncro is the issue, not the fact that it's a Tiico
replacement.

Also, any suggestions on the most reliable starter/solenoid combo w/ which
to replace the stock setup??

Thanks...
John
