Hi Terry,
Welcome!
The starter case has information stamped into it.
Example:
The part number...118400
The year... a single digit... 9
The month... a single letter...A
The day of the month...23
There's usually one more number but ?
The Delco Remy USA
What info do you see on your starter?
Regards,
Alan

That part number shows up as being for a mid- late 60's Buick full size. Date code is June 3 1966.
