Silly question, but I have noticed a difference in part numbers in starters for 318/360s on the OReilly site. I currently run a part number 03-0215X (03-0215X), which is what OReilly suggests for a 73 Duster 318. I have noticed that some late 70s and 80s Chryslers with 318/360 suggest a 03-0213X, which is 11.180” long. This is not a later 80s/90s mini starter, so what is the difference? Is the -0213 shorter starter a high torque unit? I have noticed that a lot of 80s and mid 80s Chrysler starters have a deeper sound and turn faster, if that means anything (I am overly observant of the small stuff).
