Here's a video I found a while back that shows how to rebuilt a starter. If nothing else works maybe you can put the guts from the new one into the old one and connect those wires up the way they were. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhOen1rbZk4

Couldn't see how to edit my post. when he says "yoot" its spelled Ute and is actually slang for Utility which is what they call trucks.
Took a look under the hood last night, found that wire taped to a bunch of others. Black / yellow.
Didn't have time to mess with it, but I verified it's there. Gonna try to get to it this weekend.
@haruman: let me know if you end up needing that flex plate. One of our parts yards here has a 80 arrow, I can check if it's the 2.0 Auto if that's what you end up needing. I can't imagine shipping would be rediculous from Id to Az just for a flex plate. If it's what ya need I'll go pull it for ya.
They also have a mostly complete 87 MM I'm trying to swindle them out of :-)
Looking closer, the black / yellow wire was on the starter as it should have been. The disconnected black / white wire was dirty, and just looked yellow.
In any case, got the three wire starter hooked back up, hooked the black / white wire hooked up to the third wire on the starter. Went to fire it up... now it just grinds more vigorously. So def more power. Just not mating with the flexplate...
*sigh*

Here is rockAuto version of the starter
That's starter you have looks like a direct drive one to one starter
Should have 8 teeth also. I'm almost starting to think the starter is turning the wrong way possibly. Grinding like you say it does.

Hmm. Not sure why that's like that.
I had got this one from RockAuto, didn't work at all, no touching the flexplate, just spinning:

It's possible you have been given the wrong starter. I have one I picked up that is supposed to be for my rig but when it didn't work I laid it next to the existing and it was shorter. The throw of the shaft was less and well it was still designated for my rig. I ended up buying a rebuilt and it didn't occur to me until much later that I could have put the newer guts from the shorter starter into it and just used my existing shaft.
Well there is someone here local who rebuilds starters I think. I could always take the one that came off the truck to them see if they can rebuild it.
Haruman any joy yet?
Nope, no joy yet. I'm gonna carry that starter down to the rebuilders tomorrow, hopefully that'll do it.
Finally got off my butt and carried that thing down to the rebuilders, should get it tomorrow.
Be sure to ask them about the difference between the different noising and how the throw can affect things. You might be surprised what they tell you.

Man I hope this works, won't have a chance to test it until this weekend, it's gonna drive me nuts until I get it in there...
Just got a call from the shop, starter is rebuilt & ready. $89. Ouch!
Well if it works it'll be worth it.
At least it looks pretty20150408_163515.jpg
Well, put the rebuilt starter on. Just grinds away as well. Turned the crank maybe 90 degrees, it misses the flexplate completely. Turn it some more, it hits the flexplate again. Gotta be that flexplate... and of course I can't seem to find one anywhere...
Yep that sound like the flex plate. If there is an inspection plate I would look in there. I know there out there I have seen people get them.
Just a quick google came up with a couple of hopeful items. Alwasy check fit and tooth count.
