67 Starter case question

[Craig O.]

I just purchased an original dated Big Block 1107365 starter and unlike the one from a 74 that it will replace I noticed a few taped holes in the case . can someone verify that the holes are supposed to be there. I have no idea what their purpose should be?

Craig,

There should be 4 countersunk holes for the 4 "Pole Shoe" screws (#34 in drawing) that attach each "Pole Shoe" (#44 in drawing) to the case on the inside. The head of the screw is tapered inward to fit in the countersunk hole.
BTW, I have an original 1107365 starter dated "8 B 14" (Feb. 14, 1968). When I get a chance I will try to locate it.

Thanks Dave, but the 3 holes are maybe 5/16 thread one at the bottom and 2 at the back side near the solenoid.
the starter is definitely a original 365 , are these holes original to this starter, I have nothing to compare to a Oct,66 starter, Thanks

Craig,

Currently we are in the middle of a snow storm. We I get a chance I will look for my 1107365 starter.

Re: 67 Starter case question

Craig,

Here are photos on my "1107365" starter dated "8 B 14" (Feb. 14, 1968) with a "1114356" solenoid (possible service solenoid) and a "750" casting on the cast iron nose (with 3 bolt holes). I bought the starter at a swap meet back in the 1980's but I believe that it is a rebuilt starter since the pole shoe screws are the phillips type and I believe that the 1114356 solenoid is a service solenoid.

There are no extra holes in the case. For additional photos refer to the link below.

The extra holes are for mounting support brackets on passenger cars(and sometimes ground wires,not necessarily OEM) They are not correct for Corvette applications.
