Good news: Got the new starter. It is physically smaller than the old one, looks to be built well, weighs 1.8 lbs less, and has a partition for the power and 12V cables so no shorts.
Bad news: I need a larger terminal for the 12V cable as this one is a little larger.
Good news: I'll pick up a terminal at work tomorrow.
On a side note: I did notice that the old starter had slop in the gear shaft whereas the new starter was tight. So my guess is the solenoid was going out.
That plastic terminal block usually gets in the way and is removable, that's how your old one is. Also look at the bolt holes and if one is larger than the other you'll need to make up a bushing to center it properly for mounting. Ron
