Have a 67 GTO mostly matching numbers car. I have to rebuild or replace my starter and solenoid. The stamped numbers on the starter are 110906 7K11 5. , also says Delco Remy USA. The starter and solenoid also have ink stamped USA Industries. How do I know if this is the original starter to my car, that was rebuilt once or just a replaced generic from another vehicle. Wanted to stay as close to numbers matching as I can. Thanks for any help.

Try this:

Starter #'s

You're missing a number in the starter #.

[johnta1]

Looking at some later year #'s if it is 110906x it might be a 1977 starter?

So it looks like I do NOT have the original starter on my 67 GTO, is I have a 110906 number, not an 1107 or 1108 number, correct? Is that how you read it?

[kenzoil]

The thing I don't understand with the list you sent me, is no part number is listed for a 67 GTO. Only 65 and 66. The date stamp last 4 digits, does start with 7K11, which means made in 1967 ?? Any thoughts?

"7355" were used on '67 400's, fairly common mid 60's V8 Pontiac starter core, need one that dates, post the date of your body build, several of us here have large stocks of original starter cores

Solenoid only, Delco Remy for 1967 GTO.

#1114356 is GTO standard.
#1114348 is GTO with HO/RA along with the heat shield.

I could pretty much guess that your starter is a remanufactured Chevrolet unit from a 1978 vehicle, number 1109056, turned into a Pontiac unit.

[johnta1]

That is my thinking also.
(found some 1109065 for 305 cid)

[kenzoil]

So the consensus is 1107355 or is it 1114356, 1114348 for a 67 Gto ? I assume someone has descent cores they are willing to part with for a reasonable price going to a good home ??? and if not, where is a good place to buy from with the correct number, already remanufactured ? thanks guys for the help.

[Held for Ransom]

The '4356 and '4348 are the solenoid only.

1107355 is the starter number. Plug that into eBay's search and you will get an idea of how much they're selling for. And, as 'oPh asked, post your build date and maybe dates off the engine that you think match.

[kenzoil]

So I found out that my gto was built 11/17/1966. So I assume I would need a 1107355 starter with a build code date before that like, 6K10 or something?

[Held for Ransom]

Your example of 6K10 is an Oct. 10, 1966 assembled unit and would be fine for your 11C vehicle.

Thanks for all the help about getting the vehicle year correct starter for my gto. One question I still have is, how do I know if I need shims, and the correct amount? When I removed the 69 starter, there were 3 shims in place. With my correct rebuilt 1107355 starter installed , do I use the 3 shims left in place, or how do I determine if they are needed when reinstalling?

[kenzoil]

Okay. I got a rebuilt correct 1107355 starter for my 67 gto. Can someone give me the correct wiring directions to each terminal on the solenoid? The starter I removed had (2) heavy wires going to the large lug on the solenoid, and (1) wire going to the S terminal on the solenoid. So, I wired it the same way. I recharged my battery, showing 12+ volts. I could hear the starter wine but would not turn the engine. I posted earlier about using the shims that were in place before on the old starter. I did that and used the 3 shims left in place. Is there a chance the starter is now NOT engaging the fly wheel? Or did I wire something wrong? I noticed there is a R terminal on the solenoid , which I left nothing connected two. There is also a screw terminal on the end of the starter housing facing the front of the vehicle. Again, nothing was wired to that. I see in some older Pontiacs that was used to connect a support bracket to. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[johnta1]

If the 2 wires were the positive battery cable and a thick wire it sounds like it is wired correct.

The 'R' terminal is just to run 12 volts to the coil on cranking.

The shims may not be needed for this starter, try taking 2 out and see what it does?

[kenzoil]

So there was no wire on the R terminal with the old starter, so again there is nothing on it now?? and if I hear the starter turning, you think there is the chance that it is not engaging the flywheel, so removing the shims would allow contact?

[johnta1]

so removing the shims would allow contact?

Possibly.

The shims could be locating the starter below the ring gear.

Might have to check to see if the starter gear comes out when the key is turned.
Might possibly be spinning the starter but the gear isn't coming out to engage the flexplate gear?

[kenzoil]

The starter was a new rebuilt with new solenoid, so it should be pushing out the gear. I think I will remove all 3 shims and see what happens, and if it turns the flywheel.....

[kenzoil]

As a follow up, I just read the GM factory service manual for 67, and it says if the car is an automatic, which it is, then it tells you to replace the shims that were in it originally, when replacing the starter. ....Still unsure of what to do.
