Is the correct Delco Remy solenoid for a February dated 1107365 starter a Delco with PN 1144356 ?
Anyone have a Picture?
Thank You

Yes, the GM #1114356 solenoid was used. However, it's also possible that other solenoid part numbers may also have been used.

I don't have a picture handy but, except for part number, they appeared pretty much like other solenoids of the period.

My thinking is it's solenoid 1114344 in production but not 100%. If I'm not correct then it got to be the 356 but I always thought that was the service solenoid.

This is an original starter solenoid from my 67 427/390. Contrary to the judging manual, this solenoid was painted black before assembly. Look closely at the solenoid case and you will see the black paint going over the connection end under the phenolic cap. (I had "wire wheeled" the case prior to the photo in prep for repainting) There were no traces of plating on the case. If you look closely you will also see the "arcing" from use on the backside of the contact attached to the solenoid shaft. As you can see the part # is 1114356. The car is an April 67 build.

I believe that most of these were painted black. It's possible that some were zinc plated but I think that's the exception rather than the rule. Many SERVICE solenoids were zinc plated. However, not all were zinc plated. If one finds a SERVICE 1114356 that was manufactured back in the 60's, these will usually be black. In fact, I have one (can't get to it to picture it right now, though).

Re: 1967 427 starter soleniod

I am a little confused are you saying the 1114356 was a service replacement or not OEM, Stephen indicated it was OEM on his April 67.

I guess what I am asking is the 4365 more correct then the 4344? Or could it have been either one?
Thanks

The GM #1114356 was definitely not a SERVICE-only part. In fact, my original owner 1969 small block was originally equipped with one. I have no doubt the same solenoid was used for big blocks.

Many thanks I will go with the 356
