394 Olds starter numbers?

Paul sent you a PM reference 394Olds starter, I was told your the man !!!

Cheers
Steve.

 

do you need a 394 starter?

i'm pretty sure i have one i'm not going to use,i could get Kev to put it in his suitcase next time he comes over

 

Yes mate, I've had 2 sent over to me in the U.K. but both are wrong, Do you mean Kev Elliott ??? If you could that would be fantastic, I need one for a 1959 394, I was told they are different to the earlier models.

Cheers Steve.

 

how many teeth on the ring gear?

 

I will count them tomorrow and let you know.

Many thanks
Steve.

 

thanks George,
sorry Steve,
been a bit distracted lately..

sounds like you are in good hands

 

Here's the ring gear, It has 176 teeth



Here's tha starter i had sent, Obviously wrong as the mouting bolts screw into the starter but on mine the bolts go through the starter and screw into the bottom section of the bellhousing.




Thanks for the help
Steve.

 

here's a shot of a 394 starter
and a grungy 371 on the bench for comparing to yours

gotta run to work
maybe someone here can help you with part numbers?

 

Steve,
I took the liberty of re***ling this thread, hoping to catch blownolds, donwow or other true Olds experts attention.

 

I should have two laying around for 1964 394's... If they're the same, I can get you numbers off those ones!

 

Thanks Paul, I've spoken via email to blownolds.

Press that would be helpful but i'm not sure if they are the same ???

This starter has been a nightmare to get, i really want it to start the old girl.

Cheers
Steve.

 

Anybody else want to pitch in with any info ???

 

delco # 1107716

hollander #46
fits
59-63 olds
and 64 except j88

 

Thanks Bob, Any idea where best place to buy from ???

 

Check with Kanter Auto Parts....

 

so a '64 394 starter will work on a '59?

the ring gear for '64 394 is 166,will it still work?

 

Still looking !!!

 

yes it will fit according to the hollander interchange

but a 64 j88 is different.


and langy, sorry we do not have any right now

 

the one i have is from a '64 394,i'll double-check the fit for myself.

 

Did it fit ???

 

i don't know,i can't find the starter
i'll look for it tomorrow morning.
