[T2] '74 Westy, bellhousing..re/re

[Jamie]

I took an 091 bellhousing, and a SR17 auto starter, to a T4 longblock , with 
a 228mm flywheel today
The SR17 starter gear does NOT travel out far enough to contact any size 
flywheel in the 091 bellhousing.

This can be seen by installing the SR17 on the 091, and watching the gear. 
It doesn't extend out far enough
The SR87 starter gear extends all the way out to the bushing in the 
bellhousing

So,, I don't think that an auto starter SR17 can be installed on a 091 .
