How many positions does somebody need?

The $50 starter is a strong, lightweight unit.   I have basically the same 
one on my car, except I bought mine years ago from Pantera Performance Center 
for $140.

It's probable that these $50 jobs are Chinese-made, although there's nothing 
to indicate that when you look at them, I don't think.   The ones that I got 
from Dennis was made in the USA.   And FWIW, the solonoid broke on it.   So 
that doesn't necessarily make it better....
