Starter options.

Until you hit the key and don't hear that classic old Mopar starter whine, lol.

True....but only by a MOPAR person. 95% of the prople that hear a Mopar start, have no clue the starter is a reduction gear drive.....except the pre 1968 Hemi's which used a direct dtive starter. It's likely that a GM or Ford person would not know either...... just my opinion of course.

Think direct drive starters used through 69. 70 and 71 hemi's gear reduction starters.

Thanks,
Wasn’t sure if there’s a different number of teeth on fly wheel. I have a 4spd.

I started using the mini's 25 years ago and never looked back. No comparison to the old mopar starter. No more hot soaks or drag. You will think you have a new fuel injected car.

Is that considered a high torque mini? I cannot find info on their site

I wouldn't go crazy with that hi torque mini starter ads. To try out mini starter went to a Jyard $40 put it in my 11 to 1 hemi no problem. The NAPA one I posted $60 works fine in my street hemi. Try one rather than spend $200+ on a fancy one.

I’m old school and I know it doesn’t matter but hey the old ones worked well for decades, easy to rebuild and have that classic whine that you can hear a mile away alerting you someone is stealing your mopar... weight and size are key issues but they are both equally reliable. Your pick but I’d go old school ...

Unless you are in it for the numbers and 100 percent authentic then stay original. If you want reliability, easy hot stars, and be able to hit the key and go buy a lightweight mini. If they were so great Ma mopar would of kept them.

Cost played the major roll in the decision to sub a new starter and alternator. Chrysler was fully capable of keeping up with the times IMO. Cost is key on everything , the bean counters win.
