Starter motor recommendations?
?? You don't know ?? You said you were replacing your '69 starter. So I assume it is a "full size" electrically wound field type starter like this one:
The '90's starters are affectionately known as a "mini starter." They do not have an electrically wound field, they are smaller, but the BIG THING about 'em is that they REALLY crank and they DO draw less current.
For the record, ANY (old style) Mopar gear drive starter will fit ANY engine that used them. That is, they fit /6, small and large block V8s, except early and 426 Hemis, which used a different starter. The "minis" such as fits 90's Dakota 5.2/ 5.9 also fit this series of engines. Some industrial and large trucks used other types, IE "not" gear reduction.
The one thing I don't like about 'em is they don't SOUND like a Mopar starter is supposed to sound.
