starter motor for slant six

Call a junkyard and ask them how much for a starter from an 88-91 Ram truck or van. Down here at the pull-a-part they are about $20 with a warranty.

Per Dan's repeated assertions the remanufactured units seem to be pretty bad, so wouldn't go that route.

Something Dan did leave off is that from the early 60's through the Denso units, starter speed gradually went up, most likely to mask engines that didn't like to start well when hot.

This my own 318 with a 2095150 starter:

And an '87 318 with likely the original starter:

quite a difference, though the '87 is not a denso starter.

yupp, 89 was the only one (in RWD cars) to have a mini starter
