How many times has the flywheel been changed ?
By 61, it almost certainly had the late starter originally; but it's not at
all unusual to find that someone converted at some point; intentionally or
not. Back in the 70's, everyone _knew_ "They're all the same".
So, as Bob wrote, I would insist on checking which flywheel is installed.
BTW, the gear-drive starters are the same except for the gear; and changing
the gear is not that difficult. So if you do get the wrong one, you may be
able to buy the gear and swap it over.
