We are looking for original Delco-Remy starter for 71-72 402 BB with automatic. The number is 1108418. Will pay top dollar because you will probably have to dig and hunt. Condition is not important as long as the number shows up. Ideal date code would be anywhere between 1A01 to 2E31 ( Jan 1 71 to May 31 72 ). If you find this you will be the huckleberry of the week.
Thanks for your help Paul and Jason

I may have what you need. I will let you know.

Thanks,
Kevin

Come on Kevin! Fingers are crossed! I dug through 30 starters and came up empty. Sharpie

Are you sure that the number is right? According to the Chevelle website ...418 was for a manual trans and ...430 was for an automatic. I have a 1108430 but the date code is wrong.

You are right, I am getting my info from Cars and Parts book " catalog of chevy casting no's" and it seperates cars and trucks. The 1108418 unders cars shows a wide range from 69-74 BB with manual trans while 1108430 shows about the same range except auto. Under trucks the 418 is 402 auto and the 430 is 73-74 454. As Jackie Gleason would say " I am more confused than a baby racoon ". Maybe some others with different sources can chim in.
Thank you for looking Paul and Jason

jc · 06-21-2010, 04:07 PM

Bottom right.
this is from my delco book

Duncan and son · 06-22-2010, 01:34 PM

Jc, thanks for your help. I will stick with the 1108418 for an auto transmission. Dan Tip is the only person I know that the PO of his truck kept the original starter when he got a new one. I will contact him and see what his is.
Thank you for all your help Paul

BB72CHEVKT · 06-22-2010, 02:02 PM

I am out no luck.

70BLAZERX2 · 06-22-2010, 02:33 PM

I have several orignal starters here,One i know has a cast iron nose on it,that should be the right one...If you get a piece here and there,will that matter? I save everything!!!I had them starters for over 20 years. Let me get my hands on them and get #s

Hottrucks · 06-23-2010, 08:36 AM

I have a starter with the cast iron nose cone

starter # 1108364 7H B 7AB
nose cone# C 2769

I didn't see it on the chart but maybe it will help some if I knew what it came from??

**DANTIP** · 06-22-2010, 07:59 PM

Paul,

My starter is a 1108418 with a 1M23 date code (December 23, 1971) and my truck was built on January 5, 1972. This date is in line with many of the other original parts made in mid-late December of '71 still on the truck. I am out of town but I had my son check the specifications section of the Service Manual and 1108418 was the correct number for the '72 402 with A/T. FYI, The nose of the starter is iron rather than aluminum. Good Luck Paul!

Jimmy, you are much appreciated. Let me know about starter and any other BB stuff.
Jeff thank you for trying.

Arrington01 · 07-05-2010, 02:21 PM

Starter that i found, that came off a big block truck that i have is 1107320.

This may not be the one you need. Just thought i would let u know what i have. This starter is off a 70 bbc.

*Don Loverink* · 07-05-2010, 02:36 PM

Don, You are right Eric "too much stuff" is sending what we believe to be the correct starter. I will keep you all informed.
Thanks to all of you Paul

*sharpie1972* · 07-06-2010, 03:42 PM

He must have had to dig through a pallet of starters to find that one! Sharpie

HAHA dennis...
Just for the record, sharpie1972 spotted the starter in a pallet of starters, we both kind of agreed we thought that was what you were looking for. Don loverink ended up buying the pallet of starters so i had to bust his chops to get that one from him. So there was actually 3 of us involved to get this, but none of us could remember the date code you needed. Worked out to be the right one. I guess us truck guys stick together pretty well...
And by the way, the starter is on the way. Eric

Duncan and son · 07-06-2010, 11:01 PM

Hey I usually do not give the " huckleberry of the day " award to more than one person but today is different. Todays Huckleberry Of The Day goes to Eric, Dennis and Don.
Thanks guys Paul and Jason
