Hi all I see there are 2 different starters for a V8 Holden, one having a side mount Solenoid and the other the solenoid appears to on top of starter motor

My question which one is best suited for a V8 in a LH running extractors

the Torana style side mount or Kingswood style 

thanks

There is no Kingswood style, Kingswood is a trim/lux level like SL or GTR. Statesman, Holden and Torana should be the same for red engines and I think Commodore too. There was a change with XT5 (blue) engines but someone like Dr Terry will know more about that.

My bad I was referring to H series v8’s vs LH, LX which appear to be different  as mentioned One has solenoid on top close to block and other has the solenoid mounted 90 degrees to the block

I never realised Torana was different to Holden starter motor wise.

Kingswood, H series, I take this to mean HQ HZ, though could be HK - HZ or even WB, or HD - HZ even!?
