    turns out the Bosch SR68X is for the 2.4 cars and the SR17X or BSSR17X is for the 2.2 liter cars

    The SR 68X fits all 911 up thru 89. it is the 1.5 hp version, eliminates hot crank problems. The 17X is the 3/4 hp version. It will work fine if you want to use it, it is more prone to hot crank problems

    made sense to me because we are talking about two different tranny's--there would be two different Bosch starter motors. When you call NAPA auto parts, they ask if it is for a 2.2 or a 2.4 car.
