300/6 Starter options
I think my starter has finally died. I might get lucky and have it be the solenoid but we'll see. I was looking for some replacements and noticed that a starter for a '68 was coming up with different part numbers than say an '88. Can I put the newer one on, would there be any advantage to it? It's a '68 f-250 with a 240 (w/300 internals) and stock style alternator, no 3g mod yet.

It's the same.

FoMoCo is in-famous for replacing/updating part numbers almost as often as women change their minds!
The original 1965 A/T starter part number was eventually replaced by a 1989 part number. The original 1965 M/T starter part number was eventually replaced by a 1992 part number.

Ok thanks. I was a little confused when I was checking on the website for starters and saw different part numbers. What I didn't think of was a difference between a manual and an automatic. Thanks for that info as well. Mine's a T-19.
