Does anyone offhand know of the location of the starter motor on the 97 T-birds? I looked under there yesterday and couldn’t find it, and the Chilton told me how to take it off, but didn’t tell me where. All it said that depending on the year, I would have to take the steering rod off and/or turn the wheels to the right.  
  
  
  
 Thanks.

If you follow the positive battery cable, it should lead you to the starter.
