Need help with starter

[rduckert]

I have recently bought a 1969 plymouth roadrunner. The starter was going out so I ordered a new one. What I got was a new light weight starter. After putting it on I could hear it popping out and spinning but the engine didn't Crank. Looking through the flywheel cover I can see it was not reaching the flywheel tried another with same results and a third. Napa said it is the right starter. Any thoughts?

compare the nose of the old one to the new one.

I could not get the original starter from NAPA or Auto Quest. Both sent the new style starter
I did not install any but had the original rebuilt.
Hope you can find a starter.

Welcome to a great sight.
Post in the welcome wagon and introduce your self,
We will need pics also, we like pictures.
Back to the starter.... so what did they give you ? Our local napa the kids head starts to smoke if you hit him with anything pre 90s.

The nose is the same. The starter gear will not pop out far enough. Wondering if anyone else had this problem. I am hoping the old starter can be rebuilt.

Get a starter for any 90s dodge v8. It’s an easy to get cheap mini starter

This is the old starter I took off. Napa seems to think it is a marine starter.

But I don't see 1969 roadrunner on the list

This is the NAPA starter I used, no problem. Had to remove plastic cover where wires mount. Edit automatic trans.

 

[rduckert]

At this point I am thinking the starters from napa was the right starter but something is different on the car

Here is a oem style at Summit.
We're in Iowa are you rduckert ?
I'm west of Des Moines in Panora.

Do you have a rebuilder in your area ? Get the starter rebuilt.

 

[rduckert]

But if the starters from napa was the right starters and if there was something changed on the car then those won't work either. I need to find out what that is.

Post a picture of the starter you bought. My bets it was not fitting the bell correctly.

It was 244-1083. But I took it back to napa

Had a little trouble getting nose of starter into bellhousing, tight fit.
