Too many starters are mexican rebuilts out there with inferior new parts when used. This is not the easiest starter to change out you only want to do it once. Just my opinion. Order the later turbo starter as it is stronger I believe. 83-84 probably the best option. I year warranty. Even from Canada it pays me to order there.
I actually just bought one from them on ebay; they were quick to ship and the product looks nice. It's a Bosch reman, as far as I can tell. I paid like $109 with shipping.
Silly me though, I don't think that I actually need it..what I thought was my starter dying is more likely just the ignition switch or solenoid reacting to the cold. I'll probably keep it and put it in someday, though.
