Are you sure you need the whole started and not just the solenoid?

Anything sold in a "twilight ZONE" store (or it's offspring) is suspect. I have learned this the hard way. Go to a reputable parts house and get the best you can afford, it will be worth it.

I actually think it might be just the solenoid but the starter is gonna need replaced at some point anyways and iill be getting a new engine soon so i want to start fresh. so should i just buy local, as opposed to like summit or jegs or something?

Im not sure were you live, but I would look for a place that rebuilds them. Take yours in and have it rebuilt, that way the housing is the same and you will know how many shims are needed, if any.
