Chrysler starter spin down time

Al Bundy said
Im not 100% sure,but I believe 1987 was the last year Chrysler used the old style Mopar starter before switching the Nippondenso units. I agree,I love the old sound of these starters and they work just fine. I don't want an old car to sound like a new car. so,now the $64,000 question,how long does yours spin after you let off the key? Since only one person out of those who replied so far thinks 4-5 seconds is excessive it would seem I am not the only one with this issue.

I'd say it stops within a second or two. Your starter sounds like a worn out unit to me. I have had several cars with the same thing, but I never thought of it as being an issue. It just added to the experience. It would always make me smile waiting for the starter to wind down before cranking on it again. That being said. You can't beat a hi torque mini starter when cranking up a high compression motor.
