Well, I had a starter from my 76 that "bench tested" just fine but wouldn't turn the engine over. They tried to tell me my flywheel was bad. I took a chance and bought another starter and it worked just fine.
The thing is that there is no load on the starter gear when it just spins on the bench.
Back in the old days I never took back a starter for core refund. More than once I managed to take them apart and make one working starter out of two or three. That's handy when you're fifty miles from town.
