I was going to replace the solenoid on my 74 GTV. However, IAP wants $91 for a new solenoid. The Bosch website, website lists the following as the correct starter for a 74 GTV:
SR84X Reman Starter w/Bosch; Small Case; 9-Tooth; 12V; Direct Drive; 0.7 KW; Clock-Wise Rotation
NAPA wants $139 for the remanufactured Bosch. NAPA also lists the Beck Arnley for $174 as being correct for this car.

Any opinions if these are the correct parts?
The archives had some posts about the later Alfa starters having a different number of teeth from the earlier ones because of a change in the flywheel (mine's a 74).
I have never replaced a starter before. Are there any tricks or is it a straight ahead bolt-in, bolt-out operation?
