I recently tried to remove the starter on my 1999 Ford Taurus 6cyl
OHV. There are supposed to be two bolts holding the starter on. The
first bolt was easily removed. However the second bolt hole had no
head protruding. There is something in the bolt hole. I don't know
if someone snapped a bolt off in the hole, or if it is some kind of
set screw. Is anyone familliar with this starter, or run into this?

Thanks,
Mike

You sure it isn't the locating stud you're seeing?
Three holes, two bolts, one stud between them.
I bet it looks like this:
