Rod Frazier Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I need either a complete non-working starter for parts, or just the nose cone, which inexplicably broke on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Frazier Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Should have said the Delco Remy Part # is 1107908 9m12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
certjeff1 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I looked thru my parts and don't have 1107908.I do have 1107953. There are some listings that say they are interchangeable. The difference is the 1107908 is a high torque and the 1107953 is a low torque. I would not interchange them without replacing the field coils with high torque. The mounting housings are different internally the position of the starter casing bolts are different making them noninterchangeable between units. There are 3 reasons a starter mounting housing breaks. Engine backfires during cranking, starter operated while engine is running and a bent armature shaft.

Rod Frazier Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 certjeff1, I think my starter is rebuildable, once I locate the nose cone. If yours will work for me, I would consider buying your starter just to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Farrington Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I'll check my parts cars. What engine size may be our best shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Can you post a picture of the nose cone---I have some Delco that came from a Buick/Chevy dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Frazier Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hope I'm doing this right....here are the pictures. I don't know if there's a difference between series, but my engine is a 320. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave39MD Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) It looks like you are looking for DE housing part number 1860492. I don't have one but you might search e bay. It has been NLA from Delco for at least 40 years. Dave Edited December 17, 2019 by Dave39MD (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has worked fine for many years. OK, what I ended up doing was installing a "mini' starter from Tom Telesco in MA. I believe Bobs Automobilia sells then as well. I have never been sorry. I first installed it on the 248 in my '50 Special. I replaced the 248 with a warmed up 9.5 to 1 CR. It works real well on it as well. Never been sorry.
