To add to the confusion, I have a starter from a manual transmission 87
turbo 13B and the starter does not fit the redrive. Don Moncrieff

The turbo cars have a different transmission, starter, and manual flywheel.
The turbo flywheel and ring gear is larger in diameter.  I just found this
out, but I need to put an NA flywheel on my turbo engine to be
compatible with my prop adaptor.

Yes I just bought a NA auto tx flex plate for my turbo. It fits Tracy's 
PSRU plate starter location.

BTW According to Tracy the counter weights are the same for
turbo and NA despite the difference in rotor pocket size
and compression ratio. Apparently the weight of the NA rotor and turbo 
rotor are the same.
