GM standard duty starters were intended for ordinary production gasoline
engines throughout the GM product line. When they introduced the Olds
diesels, and marketed them in cold weather, they quickly found out they
needed more grunt. So, they added more field windings, and heavy duty brush
packs, and beefier bendix drives and bushings. Solenoids received some
better contactor discs and larger cable studs. They will fit everything BUT
the TM 425 cars. The TM 425 gearbox case will interchange with the HD
gearbox case, and that is what my rebuilder does to make a high torque Olds
starter. What other suppliers do is use a reduction gearbox with a high
speed motor. They spin over a stubborn motor in all conditions. Light
weight also.
