@67Dart273 has it covered.
I went to a pick and pull and grabbed one from a 1996 Ram. Paid $21 + $5 core charge. Used it for 6 years. Bought a new parts store unit when I did a Magnum swap.

I bought a parts store mini starter and with very little use gave problems within a couple years...
Then I went to a Pick-n-Pull and picked one up off the ground under a Dodge truck for $20 plus $2 environmental fee..
Took it home and cleaned it up with WD40, and never another problem...

I got several used ones from 1990's Dodge trucks in junkyard. Cheap because half-off day, maybe $15 ea. One didn't work right when tested on the ground (grinding noise), which is the risk. I also bought 1 or 2 new rebuilt ones (place in LA), though some say used ones are better. I put in my 273 V-8 and 383 V-8. In the later, one slight bumped into the block so wouldn't fit. That was due to a plastic stand-off on the terminals. Some might also be clocked differently. Should be less fit problems in a slant, but always look close. Haven't put in my slant yet since starters are so easy to swap that I'll use up my old starters on it first.

Are the minis better? I know uncle tony refuses to use the car but i don’t know why
Well it was 7 pounds lighter and bolted right up. It turns the engine over faster for better starting. I'm not sure how long it will last but 36.99 in unreal. I searched 1991 dodge pickup with 318 (ebay) that another member recommended.
I happen to have a couple 96 Dakota's so I bought one for that application. It has worked perfect for years on my 273.

Would it work well for the 64 Dart with a 225?
That I don't know. May be someone will chime in.

Yes got one in my 64 225 dart. Should be the first improvement you do, they're that good
