I have the orginal 1967 PG in the car but it has a 1970 Camaro 350 motor (the flywheel has 153 teeth)
Which starter do I go for--a 1967 327 or 1970 350?...
Anyone want to venture a guess?

Does your current starter have mounting bolts inline (straight) or are they staggered ? Get whichever is the same.

Use a mini starter like the picture and it will give you a dual bolt patter so, it will fit both flywheels. My preference is the one made by Tilton, but there are others that will work well too. This is a must if you are going to use headers since it has more distance from the pipes. This way it will not get so hot.

The current starter has in-line holes to match the 153-tooth flywheel...
When I look through the different starters, there are a zillion different options depending on motor size, auto or manual trans, 2 or 4 bbl carb, etc.
Do I just get a starter with in-line holes for a 350 and I'm done? Year/transmission doesn't matter?

You choose the starter by the number of teeth on the fly wheel for proper engagement of the starter bendix to the flywheel gears. This is the one I'm going out to the garage and install now as a matter of fact. Inexpensive and it's a permenant magnet rather than coil type.
