Still don't know, but you can figure out which starter you need fairly 
easily.  If you have the original starter removed, check the business 
end - if it has a shroud, like a nose cone with a cutout where you can 
see the starter gear gear, then it is an early starter.  If there is 
just an exposed shaft the the gear rides on, it is a late starter.   If 
you can see the flywheel, or feel it, check for the direction of the 
bevel on the teeth of the ring gear. If the bevel faces the front of the 
car, towards the engine, it needs an early starter. If the bevel is on 
the rear edge, then you need a late starter.  Also, check to see how the 
ring gear is attached to the flywheel, if it is a friction fit, then it 
is an early starter, if it is bolted on, then it's a late version.

Hope that's clear - and helpful,

Bob
