Not the correct starter. They have given you a starter for a California model with the trap oxidizer. Take it back and get the one for an 84. Same thing happened to me about a month ago. If you do a search on my name and starter, you will find a thread in which I posted the correct AutoZone part number. The correct starter is about $10 cheaper.

Does it matter which one? Is there any benefit to using the California one? Will it fit? Size is my primary concern, considering how difficult it was to remove.
What is a trap oxidizer, and how do I know if I have one?

I don't think your wires will reach the lower solenoid. If you have a solenoid on top, you don't have a trap oxidizer (I believe). I think the trap oxidizer is a round canister at the back of the engine hear the intake manifold. Most were removed under warranty because they caused engine damage, so even if your car had one originally it may not be there anymore.
Even if the trap oxidizer is not there anymore, I believe you would still need the style of starter designed for them, since I think the reason the solenoid is on the bottom is that the exhaust is in the way of a top mounted solenoid.

They're both vans, precursors of the Sprinter van. The 409d has the 617 diesel and the 307 has the 616 diesel. I've posted a couple of pictures in the past. If you search on them, the pictures should come up.
