I've get them from Napa for a late 80's early 90's dakota. I think I usually tell the parts person give me one for a 91 Dakota V-8.

They work well. Just bought one for my friends '66 Belvedere Wagon, 440, 6-Pak. Turn's it over with no problems.

I got mine from Advance... I forget what I used as a reference vehicle.. it was a 90's something dodge truck.. 318... awsome.. and cant beat the price.. you can get one from summit as well, but its about $60 more expensive...

Got mine from the local Auto Value store here. Cost about $80.00
Don't go buying one of those expensive ones. Summit or Jegs.

Got one from Sumit for the 340. Dont remember the price but it was sticking so we had to take it back off and fix it. The magnet wouldnt let go. Other than that it seems fine.

Ebay sells them at a good price. Thats where I bought mine.

I got one for $40(brand new used)from the local pick and pull.There was 4 318 Dakotas in there,so I picked the newest looking starter.It was cheap and works well.

starts good when hot.

Like others have said…… Normal auto parts store. Don't order some, so called "name brand" special mini-starter unless you like spending twice the cash and getting nothing for it.

You guys rock
I am gonna go get one tomorrow at my favorite parts store and save some jing,Thanks.
Hi John(limelite70)Its not so much the starting part but a clearance issue,put my order in for some new TTI 1 7/8 small block headers and just want to have most of the parts here when I drop the entire engine-trans and k-frame out.

I pulled mine from a dodge 1500 in the wrecking yard for $20.

Inflation I guess?LOL $40 for me was still a good deal.

 

[megajoltman]

I just one on on ebay for 36.00 rebuilt http://stores.ebay.com/a1truck-auto-parts-exchange. So we will see he does have excellent feedback so.....

 

[res1vw21]

If I remember correctly there are 3 styles and the latter ones '98 or so offer the best clearance.

local pick and pull 20 bucks from a 90's full size van

 

[cudajim]

The one in my 94 Ram Van was bad so I got it rebuilt and put it in my 67 Cuda. I put the big one from the cuda in the van cause it had more room. They're both working well and it was rather cheap!

3 left?? I need one , I'll head over tomorrow.

I was also planning on changing my starter to a mini in my 340 dart. Question: Can you use the same starter bolts?

 

[1968FormulaS340]

Im going from memory here……

I think the only mod you will need to make is changing one of the connectors on one of the small wires and I think the small wires may be held on by metric nuts.
