Pinto Starters

Just a quicky,

Are there many different types of pinto starters?

Mine went last week and been as though money is a bit tight I got a cheap starter off here (long body as opposed to the sort body one i have) went to fit it today and noticed the throw on the cog on the long body starter i just got was shorter than the one i currently have and doesnt reeach the fly wheel.

So are there only to types?, do i need to the sort body one again as i had before?

There dosnt appear to be any marking or part number on the old one so hard to get a replacement using that

Cheers in advance

I believe that there is only one type of pinto starter motor.

Sorry, looks like you got sent the wrong type.

There is at least two types of Pinto starter although one is for manual transmission the other for auto . For a high compression engine the auto has more torque
