But I have been wrong, and my wife likes to remind me of that
Yep, that would be DA SPRING! Also they have a few different designs for the Vanguard starters depending mostly on if the ring gear is aluminum or steel. You really need to have the engine numbers to get the proper one. The early aluminum ring gears were replaceable but they are NLA. I had to buy a used flywheel just to get the proper ring gear for one then drill out the rivets, then drill and tap my flywheel in order to bolt the used gear onto it. Think I have a thread about here someplace, I'll try to dig it up.
