Are these the correct starters for an 8V92TA in an MCI 96A3?

If so I might have to bid on them.

I don't need one right now, and 26 of them is a little much.

If they go for the right price it could be quite the Deal.

Those starters are a lot lighter than the 40 and 42 MT starters that came on thses ol' buses and you shouldn't have any problem re-selling them if you get them at a good price.

They are lighter like a floor jack need for the 42 Delco and 1 hand needed for 39  ;D

Would one physically fit and work on a 353?  Or would it be way too big?  Dunno.

I never worked on a 353 so I honestly don't know but I can tell you the 39 MT is like a baby to a 40 or 42 MT!

$1250.00 is my price for 4 of the starters I bet the lot goes for 3 to 4 thousand any takers  ;D

The questions that spring to my mind are:
A) what idiot at which public agency thought they needed to inventory 26 of these?  They're wonderful but c'mon - 26 items?
B) what genius decided that they should sell as one lot? 

I'd be looking pretty hard at the final buyer if I was a local taxpayer, particularly so if the same name came up as the answer to both of these questions.

8200330 is 24v , 11 tooth

8200308 is 12v , 11 tooth.

I'd suggest watching eBay,  I snagged a new delco for $175 - Sure was easy to install, lots lighter than the old one.

The reason I killed the starter was a bad ground. It was a sneaky thing, but what looked clean did not conduct electricity.  :(
I made sure ALL connections were good - I installed new tin coated copper 4/0 marine wire with crimped ends & the good adhesive heat shrink. Dang wiring cost more than the batteries & starter !  :o   :'(     But it sure starts easy now!

Less than 60 bucks a starter if my math is correct, which it probably isn't.
