Starter code question
Tightened up the battery connection on my starter and the Bakelite on the end of the solenoid broke in half. I pulled the start apart and it will also need new bushing and of course a good clean-up. The brushes look OK but as long as I'm in there, might as well replace them also and clean-up the commutator. Decided I may as well buy a rebuilt one for 50 bucks rather than go through the mess of rebuilding the old one.
The only question is, is this starter original to the engine and should I keep it or turn it in for the core charge.
The only numbers on the old starter are 1108427-4D 0 on the main housing and 100 on the drive end casting.
Can someone decode this for me?

I had the same thing happen to the bakelite on my solenoid when I replaced the battery cable. Those things are really fragile, even though it was original GM.
Did you find any shims on the starter bolts when you removed it? Mine didn't have any, but I think I need to add one to the outboard side because it grinds at times when I start it.

We have a 3000+ mile trip coming up, so trying to get everything checked out.
