This one works great!

Model number 3223, also known as the SFD0012.   You need to ask them to 
include the (free) wiring kit.

The flange is thicker than the stock starter, so you'll need to install 
new, longer studs, available at your Ace hardware store.   The mounting nuts 
can be problematic, as clearance starts to get tight and it's difficult to fit 
a 17mm socket (the starter mounting studs, and thus the nuts, are metric) 
in there.

I can supply the studs and replacement nuts at my cost; I have either 
metric flange nuts at $1 each which use a 15mm socket, or super-duper ARP 
12-pointed nuts that are only 12 mm, for $5 each.

Let me know if I can help you out?
