If it looks like it would fit and had the same number of teeth, I'd give it a shot but are you sure it's your starter and not a loose or dirty connection?<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Joe,<br /><br />Slow turning starters are usually caused by excess resistance in the battery cables.<br /><br />Clean and check all of the connections-ESPECIALLY the ground on the engine block. Remove it and completely and clean it up.
