My Chevrolet Parts and Illustrations catalog says 88-91 for p/n 10455702 (which is the nippon-denso starter - the smaller one). But it also says 92-96 used a different p/n 10455709. I know they are both Nippon-Denso starters, but I am unaware oif the differences.

I have an '86 clutch dust shield that leves a gapping hole area where the old style stater fit. Sooooo, I'm chasing down one that will fit perfectly around the mini-starter. (manual trans)

the 84-87 starter would also be impossible to remove without removing the passenger side header
