It will not fit on the 3rd Gen Starter. If you have Headers a Minni-Started will cure your problems. No Headers, you have other problems.

Its a smaller size then the stock starter and usually a higher starting torque. Check Summit or Jegs for more details.

Mini starters are great. I run one on my 383 equipped 3rd gen, however mine did require me to lengthen all of the wires going to the starter. No big deal, just telling what I had to do.
