The more I think about it, the less thrilled I am about just getting the same sort of starter sent to me and putting what might be just another piece of crap on my car. I'm going to see if I can get a refund instead from Rock Auto. If that fails, then I may just go ahead and get a *new* aftermarket starter (perhaps MSD if it looks like it will fit OK) and just sell the replacement ACDELCO starter for whatever I can get for it.
So we'll see how things look when I pull that starter out. I tried the test with having the headlights on when I tried the starter, and since the headlights don't dim, the battery seems OK. Can't see any reason why the engine would have locked up just by stalling it trying to create the drive train noise, but who the heck knows? Maybe Murphy pissed into one of my engine cylinders? So maybe I'll see if I can turn the engine just to make sure before pulling the starter. If the engine is locked up, then no sense pulling the starter off. It's bonfire time!
