Chrysler starter spin down time

Al Bundy said
Even at the slight bump of the key mine will spin down for 4-5 seconds. I went on youtube and found some videos of others starting their cars and indeed some do stop almost instantly when the key is let off.

As far as getting a starter specifically for the six,I have always heard they are non-specific and can be interchanged among the lot,but there was never a specific starter for the slant six only. How can I identifity the "six banger" one?

heres a video showing the short and large frame starters,he claims they are all interchangeable,and the large frame didn't come out until 1975 for use on the bigger v8s to combat heat related hard start issues. until then he says that Chrysler used the same starter for the slants and V8's.

in this video he tests them and they all seem to stop in seconds.

Cool that you could get use from a few of my videos:cheers:

I think you guys sometimes overthink some of these things though. Just about ALL the unrebuilt starters I've used have a long spindown time, especially if the key is held over too long. The starter in the above slant six cold start video is the original 49K mile unit.The starter on the Dart video below is the original unit for that car also, unrebuilt, and they both do it so I respectfully disagree that they only do it when worn out. On the contrary, i find that when they sound like they are dragging and DON'T spin down very long, the bushings are usually dry and/or getting worn out.

Dan may have touched on this, but even though the starters look the same, they are most certainly not.From '62-70 the same starter was used on most stuff (2095150) About '70 or so the part number changed when the housing changed to a bolt-on solenoid, then changed again in late '72 at which time the starter speed went up. It went up again later on. The large-frame starters REALLY spin fast.

The first video is a flooded 318 with a 2095150 starter. The second is a '73 Sport with original "higher-speed" small-frame starter.
