<VV> Starter Installation Question

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

The 1969 Chevrolet Flat Rate book says half an hour to replace the starter. 
 Overhaul of the starter (does not include replacing field coils or 
recondition  armature) is .8 hour (and includes replacing the starter drive)...
Any other Flat Rate questions, let me know.... I have 1960 through 1969  
(the separate little books, not some conglomeration of info), and it covers 
all  Chevys.
Later,
Lonzo

At 64,  that's about how long it takes me -

Anyone have a Flat Rate Manual that  shows how long it takes a mechanic 
with 
tools, lift, and experience to do  it ?

Maybe it was the mechanic just making up flat rate hours  ?

When I've said that I can beat the Flat Rate Manual, I was taking the  
mechanics word for the labor time, but I never actually verified what the  
FRM said, so that may be another area I need to be less trusting, and  
reduce 
my ignorance, by asking to see the manual that they use to  calculate ?

On the ZX-2 ZTEC cylinder head, I was quoted anywhere from  7.5 to 10.7 
hours, depending on the shop.

I've also found that  asking such questions makes them not want to work on 
my 
car.  I  wonder why's that ?  Hmmm...
