I want ot order a bunch of parts but I'm kinof confused.

Mainly about which starter to get, on the partsbin.com there are so many different starters to choose from for the 924na with all having basicly the same description.

anyone mind telling me which starter to buy?

and I'm thinking of also getting new spark plug wires. the ngk are cheap 22 bucks but they look cheap in the pic with plastic ends instead of metal like the bosche ones.

Also would the ngk wires fit ok on the bosche spark plugs?

thanks.

Go for the starter bosch/hitachi rebuild.
The others appear to only match 1978.

Either plug leads will suit.

my car is a 78.

for the core charge do I have to mail them my old starter and then they'll return the core charge amount?

You can get one from your local Advance Auto for about $70 with a lifetime guarantee. Plus you can take your starter with you and they will test it for free before selling you a new one.

Buy the Bosch wires, they may also be lifetime guaranteed.
