I use the newer design starters with great success. However I use Power Master brand. Some of what Speedway offers is off shore quality.

I also use the stock Ford flathead 6 volt starter feeding them with 12 volts been doing that for decades and many thousands of miles never had a failure doing that as well. I carry a spare Bendix just in case for the stock starter. Traveling cross country its best to have a few spare parts that in the middle of the night might be hard to find.
