trouble

to answer your question im using the stock unit on the 60 block..its a non mini starter...i did however find the route cause of my problem by accident no less..i touched a screw driver by mistake to the hot side of the solinoid to the s terminal and it cranked a bit then stopped again. so i replaced the solinoid and it crank right up..onlly thing let is to run my fuel lines!!!!!!
