I dug out all my old starters.
Two have a thicker/wider shoulder that but up against the starter case.
The other 5 are much thinner where the nose buts up to the starter case.
I would guess that is what you are referring to Bob ?

The one on the bottom is 68 302 4 speed. The top is for 68 auto.

Bob,
Thank you !
The picture tells the story.
The wider section that butts up to the front nose is what I refereed to in my last post.
It truly is confusing, but that wider area from the starter case on the nose is a good way to identify.

This greatly helps me to sort Coopers parts and my own.
Your the magic man !

Is this the first futuristic exotic in the world?
Size of an ac cobra, but built in 1935 !

TA Coupe

Back in the late 70's at Mostly Mustangs In Oakland California, we put a Sig Erson TQ10 hyd in a fairly tired 68 coupe and couldn't believe how strong it ran. That thing could barely get out of its own way before the change. I'm sure the new plugs, wires and carb rebuild had a lot to do with it also. Would burn rubber with no trouble. Don't remember how high it would rev. Here's the specs from online if you want to look for something similar.

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.
