Hey everyone,

So this is a "new-to-me" car as it's referred to, and was just wanting some feedback on these parts I plan to order:

New Starter:
would you recommend a Bosch or Reman REMANUFACTURED starter or a used starter for a lot less?

New Ignition Coil:

and a tune-up kit:

does this sound like a good combination of parts to renew my starting predicament?
also, what is the word on the "hard start cure" kits on ebay?

trying to find out what the quality, respectable brands are among ya'll

thanks
-Steve

actually im still waiting for my haynes to arrive so i havent really done anything to the car other than take out the passenger seat to inspect rust and stuff..

as it sits, my car wont start, even with jumping the battery (ive had the battery tested and it tested fine). i really dont know the history of the car. i do know that when we "popped the clutch" and got it started that way, it DID run and seemed to run just fine.. so i figured i had a starter or electrical problem.

i had read something about the sensor under the passenger seat may cause the car to not start as the symptoms described were identical to mine: guages light up and stuff but it wont start.

so i was just figuring id replace the majority of these ignition related parts and start fresh and because im not too familiar on how to test all these parts... no real experience in that regard. ill definitely tear into it when i get the manual and ive been reading a LOT and eager. wanted to order soem of this stuff to have it when im ready to go! so thumbs up on the tune up kit?

How about the "Ignitor" electronic ignition on Pelican.. or should i familiarize myself with the stock get-up first?

thanks for the help
