    66257 is rated 2.5 out of 5 by 2.
    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Bolts were too short! The starter is high quality and was lightweight yet powerful. I rated it down because the bolts supplied were 1/2" short for the Oldsmobile 350 application. They simply would not start even with the start held flush! The original bolts were 1/4" too long so for now I have fitted hardened washers to take up the slack. Also I was not a fan of having to put a push-on connector on it by cutting and slicing the factory "eyelet" connector. Seems to me that a push-on can easily be disconnected by accident. Finally, I had to modify the transmission flexplate/converter cover to put it back on. The whole job should have been in minutes but with mods and trials and errors too almost 3 hours.

    Rated 1 out of 5 by from It’s really not a good part The bolts in the hardware kit won’t even go through the the starter, they are too short, only has two adjustments and both it will hit the oil pan. It’s just not a good Quality of Part.

    The Proform 778-66257 starter does not work with a '60 Olds.
