You have way to much free time- I had to go dig out my manual, and check for myself. First glance, it looks like a later model integrated solenoid Ford starter. Second look, yep, it's got bolt holes in the side. Good catch I must say, but still WAY too much free time.

Did you ever notice.....


....how your car seems to run better after you have changed the oil, washed and waxed it, and put the fourth wheel back on?

Another thought- the example page on the back of the manual shows a Mitsu 3.0 v-6, like what was used in the Chrysler minivans.
