Rembrant Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I just finished upgrading Lucille to the later model Ford PMGR starter (part number E9SZ-11002-BRM/SA769ARM) . I like the fact that the PMGR starter is quite a bit smaller and lighter than the original starter. It was easier to handle, and there is more airflow between the new starter and my headers. I also picked up this OEM Ford starter shield (part number F4TZ-11006-A) to further protect it from the heat: https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/file/n119405/Shield-1.jpg So what's not to like? The sound of it. Although it cranks the engine much faster, it sounds *weird* to me. Like a jet engine starting up or something. I think I prefer the sound of the older starter better. Maybe I will get used to it. Very cool, thanks for sharing this Rick. I am installing a PMGR starter on the 5.0 in my '52 pickup, and I can use this shield also.

Anyone have a picture as to how that wraps the starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARIAT 85 Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Anyone have a picture as to how that wraps the starter? It clips onto a lip on the top of the starter and slides down to a stop at the end of the assembly. It's a piece of hard plastic that seems to provide most of the protection to the solenoid. Sorry, I should have taken a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
