starter 1108338
 

Looking for starter for Camaro SS350 4 speed 1108338 with DEC of 66 date. Thanks Jim

Jim, good luck on the search! It took me a while to find my correct 8338 9 B back in the 2000s. I went through the rabbit hole figuring out which starter was correct (69 350/300 4sp) since we did not have the full info back then.

Also, I remember trouble sourcing the correct bolts (2 of the same size), because the specs are not clear. The new bolts I found are a tad too long, so I have to use a washer. But if you have the original bolts, can you provide a pic and specs? thanks

Hello kevin , not shure if I have the correct bolts on my starter . The car is running and I do drive it . When I do locate a starter I will reach out with specs on the bolts .

I thought the 350/ 300hp 4Spd cars got a 1108361. I believe that's what my 69 Pace Car has.

What is a 8365 starter for

I also believe the 338 is for Corvette and not Camaro

Again, there is a lot of mis-information about this starter. Jerry's 1993 Z28 book (I think 1st edition) had a mistake on the starters on page 71 which I discussed with him when I was looking for the correct L48 starter. He posted a lot about it a while back on CRG and Kurt and others dug in and confirmed the data. Jerry was discussing correcting the data in his 4th edition.

For 1969 the SS350 only, it had 3 starters. The Automatics had the small flexplate so they received 1108361 (early) or 1108420 (late) for both PG or TH350. Because the L48 4-speed had the large flywheel it received the 1108338 starter. 1967 and 1968 SS350's only list one starter for the L48 (1108338) in CRG's starter info: http://www.camaros.org/engine.shtml#starters

So Jim is looking for the correct starter. I just tacked on because of the bolt issue. :)

The 8365 starter (jl8z28) is for a L6 with the small flexplate/flywheel per CRG's page.

These are the starter bolts for the 1108338 and the 1108418.

Thanks, I will have to compare them to he bolts I sourced.

KevinW,
Thanks for the CRG info.

Looks like I'm looking for a Jan, Feb or early March 1108338 starter for my 69 Pace Car. Pirkle sold / restored mine and had said the 361 was the correct one, which was confirmed by Jerry's Book, but like you said had a mistake. Thank you for the information.
