I keep meaning to post this to the list so that it'll be in the archives.

For those of you with a 1500 Midget that still has all of the emissions stuff
on the engine, you may find yourself perplexed when trying to replace the
starter in your car.  It's trapped behind a lot of engine parts.  If you
remove the fuel pump right above the starter, you'll have JUST enough room to
lift out your old starter once it's unbolted from the car.  Also, you'll find
a ratcheting box wrench to be very handy for this job.  I think that the bolts
are 7/16", but I'm not sure.

That's it.  Hope this helps someone in the future.
