[Tigers] starters for a stock 260 Tiger, the long and the short of it

[Rollright at aol.com]

Hello,
 
I got some really good information from listers yesterday. Thanks  to all. 
I'm leaning towards an IMI unit. But...
 
It turns out that there are two starters that differ in their snout length  
(shaft with gear, measured from mounting surface to longest point on shaft 
with  gear)
 
One kind lister said that the longer one is for small-block Fords with  
automatic transmissions, shorter ones for manual. The owner at IMI, a Tiger  
owner for about 18 months, didn't know if this was so. He has both.
Long is about 15MM, short is about 6MM
 
This appears to be the final piece to the puzzle. Can anyone help me in  
this?
