    I have several used starters that I have removed from restoration projects over the years;but, I am not familiar with casting numbers.  Where would I look?

    On the nose of the starter (silver), there will be a stamp of C5 which stands for 65.
    Thank you

    I will look through my pile and see what I got.   I know theres at least 3 or 4 starters down there.  

    Edit:  I dug through and checked.  I have 2 C3's, 1C7, 1D2,  and two that are smaller and start with E.  And one 6 cylinder starter.  Sorry.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Sorry, didnt see this until a few minutes ago.   I went down and got the numbers.  They are both C30F-1131A.   One is pretty dirty and needs a bendix, the other was pretty clean, however, picking it up I promptly dropped it right on its bolt ear breaking it. 

    You can have them both if you want them, just pay for shipping.  I will take the garage point and half.  

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.
