I have been playing with a couple starters I am selling to make sure they fit, and found a great drawing on the Tilton web site:

I have a Tilton Super Starter with a different nose, and after talking to the Tilton Tech line ordered the nose on the PN 54-10018 starter:

which they said would work on a SBF with a manual transmission.  They also said the starter gear for an automatic needs to stick out farther to engage the flex plate.  Installation instructions are here:

showing the relationship of the starter gear and ring gear.  It appears everything fits, I just wondered if the material Tilton provided agrees with what others have found? 
 
A long time ago I thought people said that a Cleveland used a different starter, but it looks like that was incorrect?
