Hi Ed -

   Why do you think they don't post any information on the 302 cid starter motor on your chart?

Hi Warren -

   Correct, St Louis, MO.  No, I don't have anything else you mentioned.

Hi Frank -

   I was referring to myself with the "broke" comment.  I think you're are doing it the right way.  That's the way I'm planning on doing it when my children get older.  I just meant I wasn't going to take it apart at this time to check those numbers.  Carry on with your restoration!

Hi Frank -

   Very cool!    I'm glad they're the same (patent numbers included).  Yes, mine works.  I pick it up at a wrecking yard about a month ago and tested it for about an hour and it worked fine.  I just don't know how accurate it is over a period of days, weeks, months, etc.  I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet as my Z/28 has the gauge package where the clock goes.  Maybe, I'll use it on a future project.  I just couldn't let it go to the "crusher".

Hi Ed -

   Wow!  Thanks for the detailed info and photos.  I had to go look at my mirror again after reading your post and yes there is a date code on mine (I never noticed it   ).  The code on mine is:

12-DMI-7

Based on your example above my date code translates to December 1967. Is that correct?

Hi Arno -

   I just looked at the original remote mirror on my '68 Z/28.  There are two drain holes on the bottom of the mirror housing on either end.  These two drain holes are very close to the back of the mirror housing.  A 1/8" drill bit fits snug in these holes.  Hope this info helps.

Hi All -

   While we are on this subject, I have a question. The stamping on my starter looks like this:

1108367  8  B  2
DELCO-REMY  U.S.A.
    8

What does the red 8 stand for?  (Of course, it's not red on the starter.)    Thanks in advance.

Hi Frank -

   I don't know what the correct starter motor casting number is for your car. I would check with Ed. I bet he knows. I do know that the starter motors are date coded. The date code is stamped after the casting number and looks like this:

8 B 2 for February 2, 1968

Since you have a 11C car your date code should begin with a 7 and look something like this:

7 J 18 for October 18, 1967 (This is just an example. I'm not saying this should be your date.)

If you find out what the correct number is and the date code you want , let me know and I'll look for you next time I go to the salvage yards. Good luck.

   Thanks for getting the photos posted.  This vehicle was packed (I couldn't even see the right side) inside a dark shop.  I got all the usual "numbers" off it, but didn't think to check the numbers of the headlamp covers at the time.  It's a true "survivor" and even sports its original engine. Unfortunately it's a "rust bucket" needing all the sheet metal (including the roof panel) replaced.    Very unusual for sunny California    It must have spent its life right on the coast.  Does anybody need a parts car?

   No wonder I didn't see any numbers! Sorry, due to their location, I'm not going to be able to confirm your numbers at this time. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"     Good luck with your restoration!

Hi Frank -

   All the info I provided is stamped (recessed) into the metal housing of the clock. The only part that is stamped in red ink is the date. It looks like this:      D  JAN 20 1968

Very interesting! Any thoughts anyone?

Hi Frank -

  Interesting! Does anyone know why these windshield wiper motors have different numbers?    Thanks in advance.
