Default replacing starter

well it's time for a new starter in the '87, so... I've never done this before. anybody got any advice for me before I screw something up? or maybe some detailed instructions you found on the net that helped you alot. I do have a haynes manual so hopefully that should supply all the needed info. but just in case these things can be quirky if you don't do it just right, I thought I'd ask.
thanks Yall!

it has literally been 12 years since i've replaced a starter, but as far as i remember, unbolt one, bolt the other, put the electrical connections back on.

Its pretty straight forward. There are 3 bolts,just remove them and plug slide the old out. Slide the new in and bolt down and install plug and your good to go .
