I was wondering though with the SD engines being cast/made in 72 would they have had the starter on them all that time or were they attached at the car plant?

Which 71 would still be very early, but thought maybe if the date code was around the same as the engine....?


This just in!!!!!

Frank.G who has an unrestored, low mile, original paint, 1973 Brewster Green SD455 T/A just down the road from me checked his original starter today and guess what?


SAME PART NUMBER, EXACT SAME DATE!

Here's a preliminary photo til we get a better lit shot.
