I got a really good deal, 80$ for a rebuilt B-series starter and alternator. I have a 1992 integra Ls and the starter that was on it looks different than the one I bought, however it bolts right up. The conections are not exactly at the same place though.
My question is, even if its from another B-series, and it looks different, since it bolts up to the factory bolt locations, it should work right? Second question, there should only be 2 wires on the starter right? The one from the battery and the little flat clip? I was wondering since there is another bolt hole on both starters and I was wondering if it was needed a ground or something.

thanks!

 

well I tried to start the car and when I did, there was this loud repetitive tic sound and the lights on my cluster where flashing at the same time...

 

Does the car start? DOH. Actually the dealer has the "correct" starter. Just so I know, why do all the E-bay and i got this from my "pal" people ask this question AFTER they buy cheap crap.

 

My starter went out on me today, and when I swapped my engine last week, the alternator was not good, and then I changed it yesterday for a used one, still not good. I need the car for tomorrow for work, all junkyards are closed because its sunday, so are autoparts stores. I got this deal really quick today of two rebuilt parts and I am working on the car now. I took a chance by buying it and installing it, and now I seem to have an electrical problem, like if I forgot to put some ground on it (wasn't any on the old starter).
Should have asked first, but I bought the starter and alternator 40 mins ago and the guy wasnt available later.

 

well since my battery is dead because of my bad alternator I put another one (that is almost dead too) and the car cranked 2-3 times before I got no current so I guess the starter DOES work! I also added a ground from the top of the starter (where there was an empty bolt hole) to the chassis, I don't know if that made the difference.

 

I'm needing to know the same thing. I just bought a starter for $15 off a B20B manual engine and I'm needing it to work for my B18C1 engine.
