1969 Starter Number Application

1108361 Early 350 engines (may not have been used)

1107365 Early 427 engines (may not have been used)

1108427 All 350 engines with Turbo Hydra-matic

Not sure about the one you have. Likely from an 74 but could be from a 64 or 84.

Go out to Delco Remy's website and look it up. Also the aftermarket Delco Remy starter is Branded as "Palladium" or try and get if from your delaership under the AC Delco branding - BUT it's the same STARTER. Just in a different box.

Just tried this - that's not the part number (Delco Remy) says the part number for an AC-Delco Starter should have "8" (nnnnnnnn) numbers and the catalog number should be nnn-nnnn.

It is close to a Delco Remy OE number but I can't find it in their on-line catalog.

If you really need to stay NCRS - then possibly you may find one at a Parts counter at a dealership - (I doubt it by now unless it is NOS sitting on his parts shelf, again hightly unlikely).

Like I said, Delco Remy aftermarket brand name is "Palladium" carried by Advance Auto - you can order on-line or if you have an Advance Auto Store near you - call them see if they have the Palladium starter in stock - if not go on-line order and pay for it and have it shipped either to yourself or to the Store for pickup.

According to Cars and Parts Chevy casting number book:

1108790 = 1975 Nova & Monza with 262 V8

4 = 1974
M = December
18 = 18th day

If you are concerned about having the correct numbered starter and want the starter to turn over the engine as if it was brand new, get a rebuilt starter from John Pirkle.
You have to hear this thing to believe it; it sounds like it could turn over an airplane and it starts immediately. Also no heat soak problems as some often complain about with their older starters. He rebuilds it to factory original specs and numbers but with high torque internals.
Will last forever; I bought one for my 68 and it is phenominal.

Hope this helps. I notice yours has 2 sets of mounting holes. I assume you use the rear set. The front ones look rusted like there hasn't been a bolt there.

You'll notice with the 1st photo of my 8338, there's isn't a set of mounting holes toward the front of the starter, forward of the 631 number
