67 327 starter solenoid #1114344

[John S.]

Just replaced my starter solenoid on my 300 hp car with a "non" Delco solenoid. 3 questions. 1 Is this the correct solenoid for a 67 300 hp car? 2 Is there a point deduction for not having an original solenoid? (the starter is the original born with one). 3 Can my old solenoid (# above) be rebuilt? It had a intermittent no engage problem.

John,

Usually the solenoid can be repaired by removing the rear cover and turning the contact plate over. The plate gets frosted from electrical contact and starts to make a poor connection and the fresh surface will cure this.

I believe the 344 solenoid is correct for your 1967 starter.

Timothy,
Thanks for the response. I am going to do that and re-install it on the car. I'll keep the other as a back up as I know it works great.

John, in response to your second question, probably not, if the replacement appears to be original and many cases, they are rebuilt originals anyway.
In flight judging, the chassis judge trying to look through the grass in many cases, head pressed against the frame, getting a cramp in the neck from the awkward position, dirt in the eyes and wih the heat shield in place make it nearly imposible, practically, to see the part number.
Bow-Tie judging would be an entirely different animal.

Tim,
Some of the circular plates are not reversible. The back side on some does not have a copper contact surface. But you can take the plate out of a new solenoid if you find it not reversible. Also the 3/8 stud should be rotated 90 degrees to obtain a new contact surface.

Judges can (and occasionally do) look at the bakelite cover where the wires attach. In the center of an original is a small delco Remy logo. This can actually be seen without a lot of difficulty. The part number usually faces the starter, so is nearly invisible for all practical purposes.

You can obtain a solenoid repair kit from GM or Delco. It contains a cap (incorrect, though), a gasket, plus all of the contacts, terminals, etc. that you need. It's GM #88923084. The problem is this kit GM lists for about 65 bucks. That's a lot for a solenoid repair kit, especially when you probably don't even want to use the cap that comes with it. The same kit is also available under Delco #D957A, but it's still going to cost about 35 bucks.

But, it's an option for you.

I am looking for a 1114344 solenoid for my 67 if anyone has a extra in nice shape. I installed a new GM solenoid # 1114458 when I cleaned and lubed the starter because the original solenoid had been changed in the past and was long gone.

I believe the correct solenoid for a 67 is 1114356. Please send me an email. I may be able to help you find a 4344 or a 4356.
