i think you need to summarize your findings. what starter worked, what grinding and where were actually necessary??? i'd like to switch to one of these when mine goes bad. (i'm glad you resolved it and i hope you didn't get pi$$ed at me poking fun at you)
1. Buy the mini starter from here, not Mancini or the Mopar specialty houses. This place is $78 shipped vs 150 elsewhere. Same starter:

2. Remove the plastic encased terminal extensions. Wire your cables directly to the starter.
3. Check fit and function. If it doesn't work, grind down the housing a/o block where they interfere with ea. other.
4. If that doesn't work, grind down the nose cone.
The cables going to the starter may now be too short and rub up against the exhaust. Just do whatever adjustment you have to do there.
And no, you can rib me all you want.

How do you like it compared to the original?
When hot, my engine wouldn't crank. Now no hot start problems.

Not trying to be a pain, I just am one. The thing is Roe mentioned grinding the nose on the bottom of the first page and no one seems to have taken notice. Roe you are probably right as you needed to grind it in the first place. Some thing made you think it needed it. Glad it is all worked out and I will never use anything but what I can make work cheap. Denso nissan China or mopar. Don't forget that the auto industry always used several vendors, and went with what was cheapest first and what was available last. I would not be surprised that our beloved machines came with [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] and Chineeeze parts when new.I do remember that a mopar starter was a love it or hate it thing in thge 70's and I still love 'em. That's just me.

I could care less what it sounds like when it's turning over. The sound after it starts is what matters
