A 305 Stocker should not be eating starters or having any problem starting.

I had a brand new Jeg's starter giving me problems. I thought at first it was engagement issues and tried changing shims, still no good....The drive was N/G....it was slipping. If you lay under the car and use a remote button you can see what is actually happening when you crank it....

This is on a 509 15 -1 BB that was on gas at the time. I replaced the drive and it is working fine.

I also have used nothing but red top Optimas for well over 10 years with an alternator in 3 cars....Including my LT-1 Firebird Stocker a few years ago and had no problem.
