I need a SBC starter (or solenoid) for my 69 Laurentian. It has the THM350 in case it matters. I really only need a solenoid. I know it's no big deal but it would be nice to keep my original starter. PM me with your price with shipping to metropolitan Ingersoll, Ontario.
I priced out a new starter - $135 and it's a Bosch..
You can buy a new fullsize GM/AC Delco starter for $110 list! AC Delco #336-1823A or GM#88864304.
Or put on the reduction type one for $260 list!! I have this one on my Rag, Coupe and my '70 with the 454 and spins like a damn!!! AC Delco #336-1910A or GM #88864291.
Thanks Vincent. I have no idea if I have the larger flywheel. How do I determine this without doing any more teardown? I'll try the GM dealer on #88864304.

Easy... Starter with one long and one short mounting bolt straight across from each other would be the 6cyl or small ring gear. Two long and on an angle to each other, not straight across like the 6cyl one, will be the large ring gear. But being a '69, I am sure it should be the larger...
Also note that the reduction starter will take shorter mounting bolts.... Like the 4.3's like in an S-10 and such!

Duh! What brain was I using when I replied and didn't know how to identify starters that way.
Bad Carl, bad.... Get back to the garage where you (I) belong....

Sometimes, the easiest solutions are the most often overlooked.. I know from being a tech, you always look for the hardest and most complex ideas about a problem than the back to basics simple ones!!
But yea, bad Carl... Bad, bad! (lol)
