I do not know the compatibilities between year models for the starters across the RX line...
 
To use Tracy's RD-1 Series PSRU's, you need the 86-91 auto tranny  flex plate, and the starter is from the 86-91 Manual trans, normally aspirated, engine. You may check with a parts house to see how many different choices there really are.. but if it will fir the 91 NA MT, it will fit the RD.
 
Double check with Tracy, but I believe the same eccentric shaft is used in the RX-8 (according to tracy's travails on his webpage at www.rotaryaviation.com (what's new section). So.. same eshaft means same thermal pellet.

from an RX-7 engine to use with Tracy's RD -1C. 

Is this so?  What year(s)? Is the auto starter different from the manual?
 
Does the RX-7 thermal pellet plug work, or is the RX-8 different?

Thanks again, in advance :^)
