FE guys...Any recommendations for hi-torque starters/distributors?

Well, its been awhile since I have posted up here (or worked on my car for that matter), but I'm in need of a new distributor and one of those high torque mini starters for my 70 with a 428 SCJ and a 4 speed. Any of you FE guys have any recommendations on a setup that is working good for you? I'm thinking I want to go electronic ignition as well. The motor is pretty built and I will probably end up running a 6AL box as well. Thanks guys!

i have one from robbmc. i'm pretty sure it's way overkill. the motor cranks without any sign of struggling. it appears they have updated the design since i got mine and it appears shorter in length.

they unfortunately don't come painted black.

This is who I would recommend he has lots of neat FE stuff. I have a stock starter and only had an issue when the car was running hot. Haven't had a problem since.

Been a crazy week at work so I haven't had a chance to respond. Thanks for the responses guys. The guys over on the 428 CJ Registry forum also seemed to recommend the robbmc starter. Looks like I will probably go ahead and order that one.

As far as the distributor goes, if I had a good original I would do what gtscode did. Unfortunately what I have in there has a plug in for tach drive like the old t-bird distributors that gets in the way of the manifold for tuning purposes so I need something completely new.
