So I took a measurement on the starter from the mating face of the flange to the end that goes into the bell housing and it is 2.630”. Then I took the corresponding measurement in the bellhousing. Basically from the mounting flange to the back wall where the starter is hitting and that is 2.545”

The casting date on the lower bellhousing is early 55, and the part number on the starter suggests it is a 55 starter as well.

So I have no idea what’s going on here. Does anyone have a spare starter that they can measure to confirm my numbers?
