I got tired of waiting on the correct starter so I ordered a 068 911 024. I need to get this thing back on the road. Major props to Danielg42 and his thread located here http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=372842&highlight=fuel+tank&page=5". This gave me the info I needed on what starter to buy I how to make it work.
Starter:
I got 4 starts out of this POS and the solenoid stuck and the motor kept spinning. I took my old solenoid off and swapped them to reduced more down time of the car.
Like Danielg42 I had to remove the turbo support bracket and flip the AC compressor upside down. I also had to have one of my AC lines fabricated because one of the ends was different. I just had the new hose and my old one mated together at a hydraulic hose supply shop.
It runs!
The lifters were a little noisy at first but once it ran awhile it quieted down.
I put it all back together and charged the AC, nice and cold. Just a bit more wiring and a new shift rod and she will be ready for the road.
