Recently had a no start. Hammer to solenoid got it going and made it home. Got the 40 out and put on scales---65#. Should I have the 40 rebuilt or forget it and go with a new 44?
I can get the 44 for $445 + $22 ship. Delco says it weighs 39#.
Cost to rebuild 40 is unknown, but guess in $200 range. Also, I do not think that I can reinstall the heavy monster myself, so at least another $100 or more to hire it done. I think I can install the 44 myself. Another "pro" for the 44 is the next time it needs to be removed.
Is the 44 proving to be as good as the ads claim? Anyone know of a lower price than the above?
I am not wealthy, far from it, but sometimes it seems best to do it right the first time. Let me hear your opinions.
