A833 gearbox and starter

Hi,

A have 2 questions:

1) Is it possible that slant six with automatic gearbox and smallblock 318 with 3 speed manual share the same starter ? They look the same.

2) Do I need a bracket between the bellhousing and starter because at the moment the flywheel rubs agents the starter "theet". It only needs 0,003 or a bit more clearence (I don't have the bellihouse dust cover yet will this do ?).

My combo is:
318 Small block, A833 gearbox, I used the A230 bell used before behind the same 318, used the same starter used before on the 318 and A230.

Kristjan.
