Starter Types

Hopefully someone can shed some light for me. I'm getting ready to replace the starter on my '64 (292). The one that I ordered looks like the one that I took out:

NAPAONLINE®

but I since noticed this one :

PartsTrain.com - Hard to Find Auto Parts and Truck Parts - Starter - 1964 Ford F-100 Pickup Starter

I was a little surprised and confused by the different drive systems. Is the one at partstrain.com really compatible? If so, what's the difference and which type is better? The one I ordered doesn't have the new drive included, so I'll be using the old one. If the drive eventually fails, is there a source for just the drive? I'm wondering if I ordered the wrong item. Any input would be appreciated.

Oh, Is the type that is original called an "inertia drive" starter, or does that term mean something else?

PartsTrain.com - Hard to Find Auto Parts and Truck Parts - Starter - 1964 Ford F-100 Pickup Starter IT'S HARD TO FIND BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY USED THRU 1961!

The type you removed is correct, you do not want the other one!

Thanks! That clears things up for me. Now it's just a matter of removing the drive. Anything I should know before I start?
