As in the title for this post I am wondering wich mini starter to buy for use in my car. I have a 67' Barracuda w/a 440 and 727 trans., the car has pro-parts fenderwell slip-tube headers and the original full size starter is a pain to get on/off. I was leaning towards a new starter since im having my trans rebuilt and it is already disconnected. I know that I want a mini-starter im just not sure wich year or style will fit the best w/wiring in mind. I would prefer to go to the local auto-parts and purchase one , but what year or engine should I tell the parts guy I want one for?

I used the starter from a 1990 318. It turns a 496 with 12.5 compression with no problem. Unbolt the piece where the wires attach and it fits...at least it fits well with my hooker 2" headers in a 72 barracuda

Mine is for a 99 Dodge B van with 360.I use the Pro Parts headers too,but getting the original Mopar fat boy starter out wasn't that hard with a 440.On the 383..it's a bit harder.The Mopar mini starter will fall right in using a 440 and the PP headers.
