That is funny. I am sure you could get the right starter from the chain parts stores, try a few more other than Advance. I have avoided Advance since I bought a waterpump there for my Dodge Durango, the heater hose pipe is press fit, and the hole on the new pump was too large for the pipe. I ended up having to tap pipe thread holes into it, which sucked. I have a '79 350 in my '71 with a 350 auto, so my starters are easy to get and cheap, if it goes out I trade in the whole thing for a new one, since it is all warrantied. My truck is definitely not a show stopper, so I see no sense in buying a new one from a delco parts dealer that will last longer, but when it does go out you are sol on your warranty because it has long since expired. That is why I get my starters and alternators from Autohell, not the best quality, but when they go out I pull it off, go up there and say toss me a new one. Its like paying once and getting every new one thereafter for free. And you dont have to mess with the solenoid, a new one is on there.
