Re: 66 starter number

The '66 Judging Guide calls for all SB starters to be PN 1107320 with the date code format being YMDD where Y is calendar year number, M is the alpha code for the month (A-M without I being used) and DD is the numeric day of the month....

Starter GM #1107389 originally started out in life serving the starting needs of a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado. It's very possible that all that remains of the original starter is the frame (i.e. the barrel-shaped section with the numbers stamped on it). Likely, this starter has been through a commercial rebuilders' rebuilding operation. In that case, the numbers on the frame mean absolutely nothing; they're just a vestige of "what once was".
