TERREPOWER formerly BBB Industries Starter P/N:52145
TERREPOWER 3631 starter for the 1981 Chevrolet Impala V6 3.8L and other vehicles turns the engine over so it can start and run. This remanufactured starter is designed for dependable, reliable starting throughout the vehicle's service life.
Slow cranking, a single click or no response at the key can mean the starter is worn, though a weak battery, corroded cable ends or a loose connection produces similar symptoms. Before you replace the starter, rule those out first. One starter goes on each engine.
The 1981 Chevrolet Impala V6 3.8L, the 1981 Chevrolet Malibu V6 3.8L and the 1981 Chevrolet Camaro V6 3.8L take this starter, and so do many other vehicles. If your own vehicle is not named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
