The first rule of Tigering
1 Never throw out or exchange a part until you know the new part fits.
2 Never throw any part away
3 When in doubt or not, see rule 1 and 2
I have run into a few people who have bought new starters and they did not
fit correctly. I don't know the exact reason why. I would recommend you
find someone who can rebuild your current starter. Basically your talking
2 bearings and a set of brushes. 20 years ago I had mine rebuilt for less
than $20, the last starter I had rebuilt cost $50 but it also had a broken
mount ear.

i'm a novice in this dept ... might need a new starter, what do people do,
just get a rebuilt 65 mustang oem from autozone kind of thing, or is there a
higher quality option? i am a pretty hard-core "keep it stock" guy, but if
there is an alternative that is mich better, and if "original" is not
available anyway, i might opt for higher performance. thanks.
ps - dont teach your girlfriend/significant other to drive stick on your
tiger without explaining on old cars you can turn the key again if the motor
starts to run... ugh.
