On my year it is up on the passenger side rear of the engine. You'll see it if you look there.

Fortunately you won't have to remove the exhaust as there are no pre-cats in the way on an 85.

Just an FYI:
I have precats on my 89 an replaced the starter without removing anything. There was absolutely nothing in the way of it either if I remember correctly.
