Product Details

The MPA Electrical Remanufactured line focuses on rebuilt electrical components for starting and charging systems. This 6470S starter is specified with the core electrical and mechanical details buyers need for fitment matching: voltage, rotation, tooth count, and gear-reduction design. Those specifications matter when replacing a starter on a Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, or other listed GM full-size and performance applications, since the wrong rotation or drive count can prevent proper engagement.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6470 and 6479 for the same application. The 6470S part number also appears in interchange listings including 6561, 9000796, 9000798, 9000820, 10465293, 19136222, 88864471, and IS9315.

Common Problems This Starter Can Address

• Engine no-crank condition
• Slow or weak starter engagement
• Starter drive not engaging the flywheel correctly
• Intermittent starting on 12-volt GM vehicles
• Noise or drag during starter operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original starter specifications before installation, including clockwise rotation, 11-tooth drive count, and 12-volt system requirements. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s year, make, and model, especially on 1995-1997 Chevrolet Camaro and 1995-1997 Pontiac Firebird listings. Inspect battery condition, cable connections, and flywheel teeth during replacement so the new starter can operate correctly.
