I'd not heard of this procedure: reclocking a reduction starter.
To: Obtaining the correct solenoid position,
Repositioning the Integrated Magnetic Switch (IMS)—if required,
Or Positioning the drain holes.

I think you are referring to a procedure used on a very few situations where a specific type of starter motor can be dismantled partially and the housing rotated to a different position to allow for clearance of a solenoid. This would not pertain to our cars as far as I can find.
Clocking an alternator is sometimes done in older GMs where the front and rear housings can be rotated to make allowance for different applications. I have done this on certain cars where I could not access the correct alternator. The results would be that the mounting and tensioning ears could be located in different positions.
