dakota 5.9 starter swap to 72 duster

Dakota wasn't the only option, mine came from a Van in a junk yard. Works great. Look for the harness to the starter too.

Are you sure the Dakota manifolds will work? I know folks have tried the short headers from a Dakota and they didn't work.

This is good info, because if you grab the entire harness (cable's that go from the Starter to the Battery & to the starter relay) it'll have a nice molded connection on the starter side that will address the clearance issue that people have trying to mount conventional lug type connections on the top of the starter.
