I put a ND on my 66 to see. Its' high-pitched sound reminds me of the starter on my motorcycle and other small cars. To be fair, that's its lineage, but it doesn't sound like a real imperial.

I  agree with Kenyon.  I have a high-speed ND starter on my '71  Imperial, but this engine was rebuilt with higher compression than  stock, so I like the fast spin of the ND starter.
  
  But it most certainly does NOT sound like an Imperial gear reduction  starter.  I have original style starters on my '65 and '70  Imperials, and the both sound like Imperials (and Chryslers) did when I  was a kid.  :o)
