not sure if this will help you as my starter is autolite

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”.(2.875 is what I measured) 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” ( I measured 2.510 on my starter)

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?
