The  starter my Kelmark uses is the old style chevy, which bolts to the  
bellhousing, just like a Corvair.  It is what came with the car when  I got 
it.  I am unsure what the starter is from but the motor that  came with the 
car was a '73 Truck 350ci motor, 4 bolt mains,  etc.

    The good thing about GM is they don't change a few  things, like the bolt 
patern to attach the bellhousing. The belhousing you have  is for an older 
V-8 starting in 1955 and running through about 1965 when they  changed the 
mounting of the starter to the block. The older bellhousings used  that style of 
starter and if you have a newer engine you could very well have  the mounting 
for the new style starter also.
    So the next time you need a starter go in and ask  for one for a 57 chevy 
with a 327.
