What is the correct starter for a 1969 ZL-1 with auto trans?

[Tim S.]

I had assumed that since the engine would have a 12 3/4" flexplate it would take the same 1108351 starter with aluminum, nose as the L88. However I just saw an article where is states the auto trans ZL-1 engine takes a 1108400 starter.

Thank You

While 4 speed-equipped ZL-1 did use a 12-3/4", 153 tooth flywheel, THM-400-equipped ZL-1 did not use a 12-3/4" flexplate. THM-400-equipped ZL-1 used a 14", 168 tooth flexplate. Originally of GM #3989300 (or, possibly, a predecessor part number), it was last available under GM #471597.

The ZL-1 with THM-400 did use starter GM #1108400.

Joe so did the L88 auto trans cars also utilize the 14" flexplate , I assume so?

Thanks again Joe

Yes, L-88 was the same as ZL-1 in this regard. Also the same as L-71/L-89 with THM-400 transmission.
