I got mine at the local tractor supply.  It was pretty cool how much 
faster it turned over.  Granted, not much needed in these fierce 
Dallas/Ft. Worth winters, but sometimes it's not how much you need 
it--it's how good it makes you feel. I replaced the broken and pumy 
alternator-to-starter line at the same time.
