Ok, I had a good deal on an Oprima red top... cranking OK now... so much juice I could do a 15 mile trip on one crank :cross-eye

Now I have yet to start it... that's an other story

Thanks all

You'll find that the Optima red top will also hold a full charge far longer than the lead/acid batteries. I agree with the others that recommend the later gear reduction starters, if you have to buy a new starter anyway. I used the 240-Z starter on the BRE Z, only because that is what was on it as raced in 73. Nonetheless, it worked out fine...

FWIW,
