Product Description

High Torque Mini Starter
This Ford Style Mini-Starter is an “Upgrade” for most Mustang applications prior to or near 1993. At only 8.5lbs (vs. the 18 lbs stock field wound Mustang starter in those early years) it often reduces weight almost 50% and requires less cranking amps. In the Mustangs where it is a direct replacement there are no changes or modifications needed. Because of it’s very small size it potentially increases header clearance and reduces the effects of “hot start”. This starter works well on higher compression engines and is in use with customers on 12.0:1 compression applications

Additional
Includes the conversion wire kit for “Upgrade Applications” and for “Direct Replacement” applications this kit is included but not used. This unit is smaller than the early starters and the same size but stronger output compared to the newer (early 1990s') Mustang starters. All PA Performance Mustang starters are 100% new, tested prior to shipping.

Note
The stock 1979-1991 starter motor produces about 11Nm of torque. This High-Torque PMGR starter produces between 16 and 20Nm of torque. The increased torque is further multiplied due to the gear reduction drive mechanism.

Application
- Fits 1979-1995 Ford Mustangs

    5 Stars   PA Mini Starter
    By on 12/11/2014
    Image uploaded by Carlos S. I was in search for a new starter, since my old starter would get stuck on hot days. I chose PA because I currently use their alternator, and they make great products.

    The PA starter is smaller, lighter and gives better header clearance when installing. Instructions are straight forward and easy to follow. Don't be cheap and spend the extra $$ on a great quality mini starter.

    Yes, I would recommend this item to a friend!

    4 Stars   Awesome, 1 suggestion
    By on 1/3/2015
    Compact and starts up great but I had to rig a long generic starter cable. With the terminal being on the solenoid of the starter, my stock cable was about an inch and a half too short (no slack either). Not the end of the world, but it would be great for yall to have some sort of heads up on it. Just wish I would have been smart enough to realize it before install. Thanks, great part! 89 GT 5spd.

    4 Stars   Wonderful Addition
    By on 7/20/2016
    I bought the starter at the beginning of the year. It took me a couple weeks to get under the car to put it on. Then it took about 6 months before I even put it into action (battery and fuel delivery issues). I digress, the most difficult part of the operation was getting the old starter off. Second most difficult was tightening the bold on the PE starter. It is because of the placement and clearance of the tools used; nothing to do with the starter(s). Once I got that all taken care of, installation was a breeze. Make sure you mark all wires before you disconnect anything. I suggest replacing all parts of the starting system while your at it. You'll be glad you did. Also, get some more of your own ties to hold the wire. IMHO, you will need more than the 4 it comes with. I am a little OCD, though. The starter sounds great if you know what you are listening for.

    Yes, I would recommend this item to a friend!

    5 Stars   The last starter you'll need
    By on 2/1/2016
    The PA high torque mini starter fits at home in any foxbody. The installation directions were complete, although the pictures were black and white and fairly small. I would recommend watching LMRs video on the SVE start installation. Its pretty similar, although the power wire and connection is slightly different with the PA, just follow the directions.

    I was able to uninstall the broken factory unit and install the new PA unit successfully on my car with MAC long tubes without having to remove the long tubes. This unit has a lifetime warranty which is great for peace of mind knowing you'll never have to buy another starter.

    Yes, I would recommend this item to a friend!

    1 Stars   Looks good, blew after 2 weeks
    By on 1/31/2016
    I bought this starter about a month ago and put it on my 91 stang. She turned right over and it worked great until not even 2 weeks later she blew. In the past LMR has been great with customer service, but for this item, I had to go to PA performance because they deal with their own warranties and it has been a HUGE hassle. Save yourself $100 and buy a "stock" starter, DO NOT BUY THIS STARTER

    5 Stars   Perfect fit on 65 Mustang
    By on 7/2/2017
    Image uploaded by Jason B. Bought this to help clear headers on a 65 Mustang modified to take a large bell C4 that I picked up on the cheap. Works perfectly. Starts engine with much more authority than stock starter. I should have done this initially rather than peen my headers to gain clearance.

    This was the perfect upgrade for my 85 gt with a 351 and long tube headers. The old starter would get so heat soaked it threatened to leave me stranded several times.
