Hi Paul,
   I'm working with Tracy's g-box mounting plate. He recommends using an
'87 to '91 non-turbo manual transmission starter, and I would like to
know the overall length from the mounting face to the end so I can plan
clearance. Perhaps someone on the newsletter may have this info.
   Also when I go junk yard shopping any advice on what to look for?
What would be a fair price? Should I look for a good one or simply
something that can be traded as a core?
   Anyone with an "extra" starter can contact me with particulars. My
email is myth55 at netzero dot net (revise at & dot
accordingly).            Thanx   Dave M


There are two common rotary engine starters out there. The 12 tooth and the 13 tooth.
The 12 tooth I think is the one Tracy recommends. It can also be identified by having the
solenoid mounted at a 45 degree angle. However things are not cast in
concrete as one might think. They can usually be easily adapted by drilling new
holes in the flanges as shown by Al Gietzen's installation.

I am not sure I know which dimension you are referring to.
Here are the dims for the 12 tooth.
