Dave,
I have 2 1971 454 Corvettes, unfortunately neither has the original starter. The casting part # is 1108400 for manual transmission cars and 1108429 for automatic trans cars.

the casting number on this one is 1108430 4G12 7
then underneath it says delco remy usa
on the other side of the casing it has 1093
so maybe this isnt an original but just a replacement.

1108430 was used for '70 thru early '75 350 automatics; yours was made on July 12, 1974.
