Hi

Can anyone tell me if a Delco Remy 1107943 8E2 starter will fit on a 22nd Series Export Six Touring Sedan in place of my Delco Remy 1110132 6J16 ?

Happy New Year to everyone

Do you have any more info? Assuming the export 6 is the same then the only reference I can find for 1110132 is a distributor for the 42-7 six. The Delco starter for 41-7 six shows as a 1107037. The 1107943 shows as starter used on 8's except the 356 from 48-52.

Think the most important with any starter swap is make sure the snout that fits into the bellhousing is same shape and size so no interference with anything and mesh distance away from flywheel is same. The other variable would be the number of pinion teeth and the length of travel to make sure depth of engagement is the same.

Maybe others have better resources.

Just wondering, does Hollanders cover starter motors? My edition is much too old, but maybe someone could check.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I checked a 1107943 on a 6 cylinder bellhousing and found that the mounting matched. The drive assembly is the same for both starters. The main difference is probably the torque rating since the later unit was used for 8 cylinder cars.

G'day all,
BDeb is correct and the 1107943 will fit the 22nd Series Export and should improve the engine cranking speed. I have collected dozens of Delco and Auto-lite starters since the mid Sixties and they all have 9 teeth on the starter pinion. The flywheel teeth vary from 140 teeth up to Ultramatic which have 158 teeth, to twin ultramatic which have 182 teeth (but still 9 teeth on the starter drive) The Starters have a wide variation from 9 ft lbs on the pre war junior Sixes to 16 ft lbs on the 1107493 and 25 ft lbs on some of the Commercials. Australia has mostly "export" chassis and the main differences were RHD configuration, shock absorber valving and springing for rougher roads. In many cases the instruments are LHD and it is a bit of a PIA at night finding the speedo on the other side of the dashboard ( when your'e not looking out for those evil Packard seeking kangaroos!). Best Regards Peter Toet.

The starters from the 288 or 327 straight 8 will work on the 6 cylinder engine. I have made this swap on two different 6 cylinder Packards. Both of the 6 cylinders were taxis, a 1947 and a 1949 and they work fine. The 8 cylinder starters will have more torque than the 6 cylinder starter.

Will the 288 starter mtr fit a 356 engine?

Will the 288 starter mtr fit a 356 engine?

No. The 356 engines used a geared step-down Auto-Lite unit unique to that engine. Even if a 288/327 starter physically mounted in place I doubt it would have the torque to do the job.

Hi Everybody and Thanks for hugely interesting answers and comments on this topic.

I now know the answer to the question that started this topic - but I asked with an ulterior motive - I had seen a rebuilt one on Ebay ! but I was "hoist with my own petard" as due to the time difference between here and the USA I was asleep when it was sold to someone else.
