Pardon my stupidity, what the H*** is an automatic? On a serious note, it is a M-21 and the 430 is dated correct for my 12B of 68 car.

Jeff, I don't know what to tell you about that number on a 4spd car.....I will check some info and let you know what I find.....don't see why there would be a difference between Camaro and Nova...but you never know. I have an 8L4 dated 418 if you know someone who needs one..

Ok. You guys have me totally confused.
My experience is chevelle amd impala but chev would not have changed camaro/ nova in my mind.
The 430 starter is a auto starter so it cannot be factory correct for your 4spd car, 418 is the standard starter.
As I remember it 68 used the 365 for both standard and auto applications.
69 the 418 for either application
In 70 they used the 430 al nose for autos and the cast 418 nose for manuals.
Also the originals had a black delco remy embossed cap vs a brown cap on the service replacements.What does yours look like???
Are you 100% sure the 8 you are seeing on the 430 is not a zero. I can see why the judge would have taken the points away.
Please clear my confused mind. Our 68 impala has a manual 430 on it but that is what the dealer installed when the 365 went. They basically stripped the 430 auto and converted it. The nose is cast off the 365.

Mac, stay calm, don't spin a bearing

.....I think your presentation is on the money...all the research that I have done matches your info. Of course just when you think you got it all figured out.....

I will be ok. Just bought a few starters in the last few months and hope I got the right ones.Payed way too much for one for a correct date it better be right
Chevelle boys seem to agree on this site.

DID ANYONE CALL JOHN PICKLE? HE HAS ALOT OF CORES ON HAND .

**WILMASBOYL78** · #20 02-16-2007, 03:53 AM

I called John about 2 weeks back and he didn't have any in that date range...and by the way, he was fresh out of 837's too.
