A common misconception on replacing the starter on a Spica'd engine is that the fuel injection pump needs to be removed. It does not. When replacing the starter on my (former) '81 Spider, I used several long socket extensions with wobble to 'reach' behind the Spica pump from the front of the engine. I wound up doing this job three times due to stinker starters bought off eBay!

Since my bastard year Spider had the unique to '80 & '81 intake plenum, it had to be removed. I believe only the air filter housing needs to be removed from earlier Spica models.

Does anyone have the starter specs on older 1600 and 1750 engines?
