Part Numbers for Starters - what are these?

[Mark Milner]

I just broke the starter nose on my truck 454 and I have to get it running tonight, so I was digging through a pile of starters I have. All should work, but mindful of numbers, I don't want to put something that might be of value to someone on it.

I have:

1108776 5L25
1107374 5J24
1108389 1 C 9 8
1998584 8-4

I can't find these numbers in any of my books or in searches on the web, other than 1108776 which came up in a group that was equivalent to one some parts place was selling. No application was given.

Thanks in advance.

As I've mentioned before, the numbers on starters, alternators, etc., really mean nothing, at all, after a starter has been through a commercial rebuilding operation. However, here's what the FRAME of the starters you mentioned originally resided on:

1107374----1966 Buick with 300 or 340 cid engine

1108776----1975 Chevrolet models with 350, 400, or 454 cid engines

1108389----1970-71 Oldsmobile with 455 cid engine

1998584----1987-1990 Chevrolet and GMC trucks with 305, 350, and 454 cid engines. Most, if not all applications, with manual transmission.

Thanks, Joe.

I only wanted the numbers in case they were something that would be a match for some special car in the future.

As it turned out, I found a couple were bad. I guess I'm going to have a talk with my brother as I imagine that some of his broken ones were exchanged for my working ones.
