Correct starter?
l'm trying to determine if my old starter is correct for my car. I just replaced it with a parts store rebuild and don't want to return it for the core charge if its original.
It is marked as follows..1108430 4D191. The nose of the starter is marked with the digits 881. The car is a 71 with a May build.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Early '71 small-block 4-speed cars used 1108338, later 71's used 1108418. The 4-speed cars used a 14" 168-tooth flywheel, and the automatics used a 12-3/4" 153-tooth flexplate; the starter noses are different between the 4-speeds and automatics due to the different ring gear diameters.
Thanks

Thanks for the information. Interesting that is was made for a small block automatic and my car is a big block manual. Someone made a mistake years ago. I guess it can be used for a core exchange,or I could sell it. Bob
