MSD APS Starter, Chevrolet SB and BB V8

Straight Mount, PN 5095

Staggered Mount, PN 50951

WARNING: Before installing the APS Starter disconnect the

battery cables. When disconnecting the battery

cables, always remove the Negative (-) cable

ﬁrst and install it last.

IMPORTANT: Proper installation of the APS Starter is important to the overall operation. Correct alignment of

the starter pinion with the ring gear is needed to achieve the best operation and longevity from

your starter. Please read the instructions before attempting the installation.

1. Make sure the starter mounting ﬂange on the engine block

is clean and smooth.

2. Install the starter with the supplied hardware. It is recommended

to leave the shims out until the pinion gear to ring gear teeth

mesh is checked. Torque the bolts to 32 lb-ft.

3. Check that the position of the solenoid is away from direct

heat sources and other components. If there are clearance

problems, the starter housing can be rotated to move the

location of the solenoid. This is done by removing the three

bolts on the mounting block and repositioning the starter

motor (Figure 1).

4. With the starter installed, check the clearance between the ring

gear and the edge of the pinion gear (Figure 2). There should

be at least 1/16". It is recommended to check this clearance

in at least three places around the ﬂex plate.

• If there is not enough clearance, you will need to install

the supplied shim kit by removing the mounting block

(Figure 3). Place the small shim ring in the bearing bore

and install the outer shim on the support housing. Reinstall

the mounting block. This will move the pinion gear into the

starter approximately 0.060".
