The problem is that there are two different types of starters, inertia and pre-engaged.

There are also two different type of ring gear, 107 or 129 teeth for the inertia and pre-enegaged starter respectively.

There are also two diffrent types of flywheel, verto or pre-verto. These were fitted with the 107 or 129 teeth ring gear at the factory dependant on starter to be used.

I think it all went pre-engaged and verto from the mid eighties, but before that they were using inertia starters, 107 teeth flywheels on verto flywheels.

To cause further confusion, aftermarket sources are fitting pre-engaged 129 teeth ring gears to pre-verto flywheels!!

It does not necessarily follow that if you have a non-verto flywheel that you should use an inertia starter and vice-versa.

You need to count the teeth on the ring gear and use the appropriate starter.
