Default Which starter nose?

Hello,
The starter nose on my 68, 327 auto, 300hp engine with A/C is steel. The number on the starter is 1100338 8 C 27. Should it have an aluminum or steel nose? I'm thinking that it should be aluminum because it's an automatic.
Thanks,
Don

Hi Don,
From what I'm reading in the NCRS 68-69 TIM & JG I'd expect to see an aluminum nose on your sb, automatic, car's starter too.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan. I'm going to check with a local starter/alternator re-builder to see if he has a replacement nose. They have been in business for about 55 years in the same location and should have some old parts.
