We are looking for original Delco-Remy starter for 71-72 402 BB with automatic. The number is 1108418. Will pay top dollar because you will probably have to dig and hunt. Condition is not important as long as the number shows up. Ideal date code would be anywhere between 1A01 to 2E31 ( Jan 1 71 to May 31 72 ). If you find this you will be the huckleberry of the week.
Thanks for your help Paul and Jason

BB72CHEVKT · 06-21-2010, 11:57 AM

I may have what you need. I will let you know.

Thanks,
Kevin

Come on Kevin! Fingers are crossed! I dug through 30 starters and came up empty. Sharpie

**breeh** · 06-21-2010, 12:55 PM

Are you sure that the number is right? According to the Chevelle website ...418 was for a manual trans and ...430 was for an automatic. I have a 1108430 but the date code is wrong.

You are right, I am getting my info from Cars and Parts book " catalog of chevy casting no's" and it seperates cars and trucks. The 1108418 unders cars shows a wide range from 69-74 BB with manual trans while 1108430 shows about the same range except auto. Under trucks the 418 is 402 auto and the 430 is 73-74 454. As Jackie Gleason would say " I am more confused than a baby racoon ". Maybe some others with different sources can chim in.
Thank you for looking Paul and Jason

jc · 06-21-2010, 04:07 PM

Bottom right.
this is from my delco book

Duncan and son · 06-22-2010, 01:34 PM

Jc, thanks for your help. I will stick with the 1108418 for an auto transmission. Dan Tip is the only person I know that the PO of his truck kept the original starter when he got a new one. I will contact him and see what his is.
Thank you for all your help Paul

BB72CHEVKT · 06-22-2010, 02:02 PM

I am out no luck.

70BLAZERX2 · 06-22-2010, 02:33 PM

I have several orignal starters here,One i know has a cast iron nose on it,that should be the right one...If you get a piece here and there,will that matter? I save everything!!!I had them starters for over 20 years. Let me get my hands on them and get #s

**DANTIP** · 06-22-2010, 07:59 PM

Paul,

My starter is a 1108418 with a 1M23 date code (December 23, 1971) and my truck was built on January 5, 1972. This date is in line with many of the other original parts made in mid-late December of '71 still on the truck. I am out of town but I had my son check the specifications section of the Service Manual and 1108418 was the correct number for the '72 402 with A/T. FYI, The nose of the starter is iron rather than aluminum. Good Luck Paul!

Duncan and son · 06-22-2010, 08:50 PM

Thank you Dan, that is the starter I will look for with the help of some really fine folks on here. Paul and Jason

69lemans · 06-23-2010, 01:59 AM

I have a 1108430 with 2K27 date code that's been dis-assembled.The cast iron nose off of it is currently on my truck.. Haven't checed the #'s on the one on the truck yet

69lemans the number might work but the date code is oct 27 1972 which is 5 months after the truck was built. Good find.. Keep looking

Hottrucks your starter appears to be off of a 1969 350 truck.

Thanks guys I appreciate your time and effort Paul and Jason

Hottrucks · 06-23-2010, 09:17 AM

now you guys have me scraching my head?? how do you read the code #??

The 1180364 mentioned earlier is a 1969 350 chevy truck. The one in the picture 1108354 is not in my chevy book so may be some other GM division. The first no. indicates yr, letter indicates month ( A= Jan B= Feb etc and they do not use I because of confusing with 1 and last two no.s indicate day of month.
Hope that helps Paul
P.S. order the book " Cars & Parts Catalog of Chevy V-8 engine casting numbers 1955-93 and stamped numbers "

Hottrucks · 06-23-2010, 10:35 AM

Hmmm now you have me woundering what its for..it was in the bed of my truck when I bought it..along with a ton of other who knows what stuff...I had it in the scrap/extra parts you don't knw what to do with bin and when I heard he was lookng for something with a cast iron nose cone and it popped into my head ...

**DANTIP** · 06-23-2010, 10:57 AM

1108354 looks to be for a Buick 400 and 430 (1968)?

Hottrucks · 06-23-2010, 11:11 AM

thanx Dan maybe I'll find a buick board and put it up there then its not worth anything to me..except maybe a core?? but I would hate to do that then find out someone is looking for one for a stock rebuild??

Hottrucks, I would buy the cast iron nose. Mass rebuilders assembled their rebuilt units from thousands of used units and parts thus the rebuilt unit may not have anything in common with the original unit. So I will be happy getting the pieces I need. The tough one will be the 1108418 case with the correct date code.
Thanks again Paul

Hottrucks · 06-24-2010, 10:01 AM

me too the swap meet is this weekend I'll take the # your looking for with me...pm me what these things are worth so I dont over spend your budget...if I find one I'll ship it to yea...

Duncan and son · 06-24-2010, 11:40 AM

Thank you for your help. These old starters are usually salvage. If you get a new one from Auto Zone etc they give you $10 core charge. If you find one at a swap meet you should be able to get it for a song and dance, but that being said , I would pay $75 for the correct one.
Thank you again Paul and Jason

Duncan and son · 06-25-2010, 07:02 PM

still looking

**Arrington01** · 06-25-2010, 11:17 PM

Duncan and son · 06-25-2010, 11:28 PM

Jason it is going to take alot of people looking and I appreciate you taking the time.
