Detailed Description

WAI 6470N is a new starter assembly built for GM vehicles using Delco-style PG260 starter applications. The unit is designed to deliver the amp output needed for modern vehicle starting demands while maintaining consistent engagement through its 11-tooth, clockwise rotation setup. If you are replacing a worn starter on a 1995-1997 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird, or on a 1995-1996 Buick Roadmaster, Cadillac Fleetwood, Chevrolet Caprice, or Chevrolet Impala, this starter matches the listed Delco unit requirements. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6470 for the same application.

What This Starter Helps Solve

  • Slow or weak engine cranking
  • No-start conditions caused by starter failure
  • Intermittent starter engagement
  • Grinding or improper starter drive engagement
  • Electrical starting issues tied to a worn starter motor

Confirm the application against the listed fitment for 1995-1997 Chevrolet Camaro, 1995-1997 Pontiac Firebird, 1995-1996 Buick Roadmaster, 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood, 1996 Chevrolet Caprice, and 1996 Chevrolet Impala.
