Chrysler starter spin down time
IMO I dont see any reason not to just use a "mini" starter found on late model Dakota's Bolt right in and turn the engine faster and they are tons smaller. no down side, unless you are doing a Numbers resto. link

Because that's not what originally came on the car and it doesn't have that classic mopar sound. I had a Denso mini starter on the car when I bought it and to be honest I didn't think it was anything special. it too took a while to spin down,would ocassionally not mesh correctly and started its "click,click,click,click" routine,and it sounded like a Toyota starting instead of a 1970 Dart.
Whats wrong with the old starters? I have a slant six,not a 440, I don't see any reason not to use one of them,they are much easier to find,cost less and have the sound that most people here have said they love.
I'm not knocking those who want to use the mini starter,to each his own and I know they are more powerful,but Chrysler used this starter from the early 60's into the late 80's,they aren't junk.
