That's a good question, but I don't think it was the same issue. That was a stock style starter and I was even using the starter brace that bolts to the block. That alone would have been a good ground. I'll have to bench test that starter and see what's up. It will probably work on the bench, but I don't have a way to load test it. It was a replacement/rebuilt starter anyway, so I'm not too worried about it. I have an original on my born with motor sitting in the corner.

One more thing to add on the install. I had to clearance the bellhousing dust shield on the bottom slightly. The mini starter nose is a little bigger/shaped differently than the older stock starter. Not a big deal, but it was something else...
