I'm pretty sure it is the same if you are bolting the starter to the bellhousing - you need the "pointy", narrower cast iron nose. Good luck!

That’s the problem. Trying to find that one. I opened the bell housing up to fit the one I have. The starter turns fine but won’t retract back when the power is off. I think I have a weak starter.
