Maintenance / Re: Starter issues
« on: September 02, 2008, 02:53:40 AM »
From my restoration Camaro book I have here it does show the Starter number for a BBC 1969 (Listed as a Chevrolet engine... they indicate that the starters vary little until 1980) to be 1108418 and the Ring Gear to be 14".
So my questions are:
1) Is the Starter I have the right one... if is or isn't where is that number located at to be sure.
2) Those of you that own a 1969 Camaro does your starter have the brackets to help hold the starter in place? (Mine does not have anything other than the 2 bolts from the bottom.
3) How many shims is to many, or is there a limit to how many?
4) Is there a set distance that is recommended to start from and shim out? I have not found any info on this.
I think I have the Starter number, now ih ave have to answer a few more and maybe I will hear her purr this week hopefully.
