Hey guys, Still new to the club but have found it to be a great resource for everything Z. I moved my 240 with me in 08 from Coronado CA to Fayetteville AR. In CA I knew a great Z mechanic and had resources at my fingertips. Here...not so much. I was wondering if anybody knew of any mechanics within a 200 mile radius who have experience working on Z's. I could take it to any trusted mechanic im sure, but i'd like to take it to someone who loves the car as I do. Thanks.

The stock starter doesn't have any problems. I just would like a more reliable start. It takes a while to start the engine and in the cold I am lucky if the battery doesn't die before it starts.

Should I purchase a Gear reduction Starter? I just recently bought a new Patronix flamethrower coil and and electronic conversion kit for my hitatchi(sp) distributor in efforts to make starting my 72 240 a more reliable process. I found a gear reduction starter on ebay that has been refurbished and claims to be able to help with cold starts. If this is so then I would be more than happy to buy and replace it for my stock starter that constantly gives me problems. Will this disrupt anything else within in the engine or cause me to have to make any further modification? Can I get two cents from any one willing to offer some advice.
