I ordered 12617229, two equal length bolts, in line. It runs straight into the crank position sensor above it.

I don't mean it was close, I mean you'd have to remove the sensor entirely. And the starter can only go in one way, and is non-clockable or reversible.

I'm a big fan of factory starters, but wound up ordering a Powermaster fully clockable unit.

Had I not ordered the Powermaster this morning I'd order the Vette unit. Where were you yesterday? :-)
