It makes me think that being "new" that they are using a pinion gear or solenoid or something for the 90's era flywheel or ???
Also see starters for 60's GMC straight 6 cylinder. Could be a mix up just about anywhere in the logistics. Just getting that off my chest.
Yeah… I’ve been thinking the same thing. Bolts up nicely, but maybe it’s just slightly not right? There’s a Remy listed online as well, so I may just throw good money after bad and try that one…. I’ve said this before but “it’s the only thing that makes sense”….
