[E-Type] Starter Motor Replacement

What’s the latest thinking of “upgrading” to the more modern and
efficient high torque starter motor?

My original works fine btw.

If going for the upgrade, what’s the thinking on which one to buy and from whom?–

My 65 FHC starter was laboring during starts and just did not turn
the engine over fast enough to promote quick starting. I replaced
it with the much lighter weight, high torque and high reving unit
from Barratt. It turns the engine over much faster and starts are
much quicker. I saved the old starter, of course, but the new one
works just great. Regards, Bill–

Mine didn’t confidently spin the engine until I put the new
starter in/ It sounds very confident now when it spins.

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Keeps more things from getting
broke.–
