Ack!
I went to replace the starter on my '66 Spitfire when I noticed that
there is a large gap between the engine plate and the clutch bell housing at
the point where it bulbs out to fit the starter (large enough for me to stick
a screwdriver in and touch the starter's shaft even when everything is bolted
on properly).
[other bits deleted...]
To the best of my knowledge, there is no seal or gasket missing, I know
that my '73 has the same thing, and I know that there aren't any parts
missing.
I'll check the parts book tonight and let you know for sure though.
