wangwilko Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hi, just completing rebuild of a starter motor for my 1936 Desoto and seeking information on correct tag which was missing. I believe it is to be black for 6v but were they Autolite or Delco-Remy or could it be either? Just want it to be correct. Thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Pretty sure it’s Auto-Lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have the one you need. I bought a Auburn from Anderson Ind. The guy worked at Delco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Tierney Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Per a little Shurkit catalog 36 (both S1 abd S2) took AL, but shows two number---IGS40061 and 4006A-1, no info when changed (assuming A-1 some kind of improvement)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure of your numbers? My catalog shows IGS4006-1 and IGS4006A-1 as the Distributor not the staring motor? We do no want to give out the incorrect numbers to be stamped onto the data plate. Please post picture of where you got your data. My data is posted in the previous post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Tierney Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Geez, I WAS WRONG!!! Somehow I mentally jumped from starter to dist (that catalog had starter parts but no starter numbers)... That was not only wrong, but, worse, stupid... What can I saY?? My apologies sounds trite, and is... I'll be carefull to double check in the future...l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
