Starter not engaging

I thought the newer ones had different style connectors, I've always used the earlier 90s versions when I want to replace a classic Mopar starter with a newer style.
Just because that's what I had laying around I have the starter off of my 92 Dakota on my 78 Fury (318)
I do know the starter on my 01 Durango the small terminal doesn't bolt on the starter it clips in.
The oldest I have seen with the smaller starter from the factory, was my 89 diplomat, and it grew to the trans, I had to destroy it with a sledgehammer to get it to give up it's corroded bond when I had to rebuild the trans on it.
