Twin Dizzy Confusion
I have a '73 12A and 4 speed.
What CONFUSES me is that the Internet says this should have had a top mount starter. It does not, it has a bottom mount starter, and what looks like a generic ribcase 4 speed. (I assume, it looks like every other ribcase I have seen in pictures) Would an RX-7 starter work with this? I've heard that the starter will interchange with single dizzy ribcase bellhousings, but then I have also heard that all twin dizzy had top mount starters... |
My dual dizzy has a bottom mount starter. Not sure about the strater interchange with an RX-7.
|
The late 73 RX-2 wagon had a twin dizzy bottom mount starter setup. It was kind of a mutt year, like how the 83 was kinda that way.
|
Well, it IS a four-door car.
Hmm. It occurs to me that the pile of parts that came with the car included TWO radiator/oil cooler assemblies. I wonder if the engine I have is even from this car. But it's still a twin dizzy and it's still a bottom mount starter... |
It could be a rx3 transmission. 73 rx3 had bottom mounted starter and rib case transmission.

Well, apparently it did, anyway. The PO partially disassembled the car in the late Seventies and then it all became a home for wayward mice. |

No. It was six years old when he parked it, so it's pretty rusted. Also dented all to hell.
