I’d say it works (barely adequately) so far with the IMI-101 starter. I’d like it to be stronger still. I’m going to try it for awhile, especially when weather gets hot.
Which makes me remember, I want better cooling! It gets hot, close to overheating sometimes. I think moving the cooler to the front is in my future. I might look at an upgraded cooler too?
Guys here have had success replacing the battery cables with (#4? #2?) welding cable. Hopefully someone who's done it will add their 2 cents. If the auxiliary oil cooler is in the rear left fender well and is thermostatically controlled I don't see much benefit in moving it (with it's much longer lines and increased demand on the pump) to the front. I know that's how Porsche did it, but a cooler in the fender well receives ample airflow, and with the oil lines being much shorter there's not nearly as much friction (and friction = heat). Anyone I know, personally or online, that's run a high hp Type 1 engine successfully on the street will tell you (among other things) that reducing the air temps to the fan and carbs goes a long way toward keeping the engine happy. More later.
PS- do you have any idea what components are in your 2332?
