IMO
Remove starter from car. Carry it into the parts store, set it on the parts counter.
Obtain new starter for your car.
Make sure the starter they give you matches up.
If it isn't the same, ask for a starter that fits a car that engine came from.
Take both starters back home.
Install new starter.
Do not give them your old starter until you have the new one installed and working.
Or, take your starter to a local rebuilder instead.
