I vote for this ! .

The 250's starter in my '69 is some odd ball thing that no partshaus carries , the last time it died as the sun was going down on a Sunday afternoon , I was able to find a different one in a junkyard as they were pushing me out the door , I went back the where my truck was stranded in front of a yuppie Coffee House and took both apart on the curb , built one good one that's still fine....

I am sure that once you figure out the mesh problem / situation , you'll be good to go .

Try counting the starter's drive teeth and trying different counts......
