I'm pretty sure that the same starter will fit the "B". I would like to know
what all engines it does work on. Any car with a 5" spaced 2-bolt hole should
be a candidate. When I first went to Pep Boys and "found" this match, I went
through about fifty starters before I found this one. Most have an offset
pinion and they won't work. In the 5" size, there were several with different
pinion depths and solenoid positions. I'm not sure how critical this dimension
is. There seems to be a certain amount of tollerance. The solenoid position is
important because it may foul other accessories or the car itself.
Good luck.

Jack,
I forgot to ask. On the Izuzu starter, does the pinion gear pull into the
flywheel from the rear as on a Lucas (Bendix type) starter of from the front
of the car? A racing pal of mine bought a small high touque starter from Bob
Yarwood that looked real good, but the pinon engaged from the front of the
flywheel making in necessary to reverse the ring gear on the flywheel. In
other words, this new starter was not an easy bolt on and is still not on the
car yet.
