Restored my '66 GTO few yrs.ago. Has the tri-power engine and they run hot. Didn't want the usual "hot starting" problems with GM starters and hot engines. Took original starter to local "expert" starter rebuilder and he said don't bother with the aftermarket so-called "high-torque" starters , that he could rebuild mine to start that engine no matter how hot it was. He did , and it does. This thing has 10.75 compression and initial timing of 12 BTDC and cranks as good hot as cold. Very happy with it. Here's the question. He said he would rebuild it with "double shunt" windings to get this level of performance. WHAT is a "double shunt" winding and what does it accomplish and why aren't they all built this way??? Oh , by the way , this rebuild cost me the grand total of $75.00 and zings this engine over as good as any of the $300.00 "high perf. stuff from the speed shops.
