67 barracuda /6 starter gave out. I was tired of tapping it with a hammer. Decided to swap it out. Research shows that a 98 Dodge Dakota Starter is compatible. The wire harness was toast as well. I saw the harnesses online for about 130$. I decided to just make my own for 30$ and I purchased the...
