Subject: starter versions?

Greetings,
 
While looking at different flywheels for the single rotor, I noticed that some are for turbo, and some non turbo.  Naturally, all are for manual trans.  The starter I have now obviously works with the auto trans flexplate, but I don't recall which version of starter I originally ordered. 
 
The question-  Is there any difference in diameter, or tooth count between the auto flexplate, and manual trans flywheels, as long as I specify 86-91?  How about turbo vs non-turbo?  It appears that the turbo probably used a larger clutch, but I don't know if the starter ring was different. 
 
The REAL question- If I order a flywheel, will I end up with something that won't work with my current starter, or with the location in the RD-1C drive plate?  I realized that fore and aft spacing could be an issue.  
 
Thanks,
Rusty (wish the gmail POP server would come back to life)
