Kinda funny this thread pops up. i just picked up an 87 Dakota the other day with the 3.9 in it, and was really surprised it still had the old school mopar starter in it. Love the sound of the old school starters.
Im not 100% sure,but I believe 1987 was the last year Chrysler used the old style Mopar starter before switching the Nippondenso units. I agree,I love the old sound of these starters and they work just fine. I don't want an old car to sound like a new car. so,now the $64,000 question,how long does yours spin after you let off the key? Since only one person out of those who replied so far thinks 4-5 seconds is excessive it would seem I am not the only one with this issue.
