Clarification 120-130

Thanks Ron
Maybe I should have said cranking power
I don't know
All I know is that the volvo 140 starter motor turns over much faster than the one that I took off my 130 and much faster than the one on my 1967 1800s
So I was thinking that the one on my 1800s may not live as long as the rest of the car and therefore I should think about collecting a replacement to keep aside and should a later model starter motor turn over faster than the 120/1800 one, it might be a good idea to obtain one of those as I really like how the 140 one works on my car
So, I was wondering about the difference between the 2 listed on the FCP website, and yes I emailed a clarification to FCP but no answer as yet and I love the depth of knowledge over here at the brickboard so I thought I might ask the same question as my terminology may have confused FCP also
The little mouse on the wheel inside my head is a little slower these days and my terminology is not as sharp as it once was, I know
With respect to this last statement, I think I may have seen the hi torque starter motor I was enquiring about, advertised on a website in the UK
Further searching required I think
I'll post the result
BTW the first thing i did was clean and tighten the connections
Thanks again
David
