The new flange style starter is for a Manual Transmission.

Is the one in the car now for an automatic then?

I know for a fact that the bolt to the block style starters were used when a Turboglide was installed, as far back as 1957.

Yes, according to my part book.

If you want the starter to be more correct looking, originals had a pin going through the fork that was held in by a snap ring, not a bolt and nut affair.

Thanks - do you have a picture of what that looks like?
