Do you know if either type will fit Tracy's redrive plate?

Tracy?

Think I missed the first part of this thread due to my defunct email

server.

I have been told that there are two types of starters which fit the 86 -

88

manual transmission.  One is the 86 model year which is a longer,

non-geared

starter weighing about 10 pounds.  The later years were shorter, had a
planetary gear drive, and weighed 7 1/2  pounds.  The later one is more
desireable of course.

There are two kinds of geared starters. One has a laid over solenoid and

the

other the solenoid is on a radial.

I think the starter with the solenoid positioned radial to the engine crank
is the automatic version.  The redrive uses the manual transmission starter
even though it uses the automatic flywheel.  I know it's confusing but
that's the way it is :-)
