Anyone else have this problem? The new starter I bought has the soleniod and field housing backwards on the mount compared to the one I took off of the car. If I mount the new starter upside-down so the field housing is away from the transmission and will fit, the wiring will not reach. If I rotate the starter the other way, the field housing interferes with the transmission. A few pics may help...
Pic 1: Note that the starters are mirror images of each other. The new starter is on the left. Attached image(s)

Pic 3: The bendix on the old starter was toast and not mating properly with the flywheel anymore.
