1955 #645 starter
i notice the later 55 corvettes use what would be a manual transmission starter on the passenger cars. what is the difference between this starter (645) and the 649 starter that is used on the passenger car automatics? also, are the 645 starters installed without a solenoid dust cover and without the rear bracket bolt like the earlier 627 starters?

I don't know of there being any difference between each,but just the number ,the car starter solenoid would have two posts R & S . The Corvette 55 only had a S for starting ,car R was for accessories and Corvette dint use a rubber dust cover.The starter dint use bracket

roy, do all 55 have the 767 solenoid? my solenoid is the same design as the one you posted but does not have the same number as the judging manual which states all 55s are 1119767. my car has a 2nd design 1107645 starter, date code 5g, with a 1119789 solenoid. i also see the same 645 date coded starter using a 789 solenoid on ebay. the last mention of these solenoids was a few years back and i like to make sure nothing has been changed before going with the 767 solenoid.Comment

Re: 1955 #645 starter
Like I said I don't know the difference between a #627 and the #645 starter . You said you have a #789 solenoid which is the same looking design as the #767 having ONE post (S) if that's correct?? then I see it being a second design, and is not mentioned in the JM. Does it use a rubber dust cover?
Not being involved in NCRS for over 15 years till lately I've not seen many 55's . Right now a group is up dating the JM so I'll look into it.Comment

roy, john pirkle says that all 645 starters came with the 789 solenoid. also the 789 was designed to have a dust cover. i asked him about the use of dust covers on the 767 solenoid- 627 starters when they were used again in 1956 and he had no knowledge of dust covers on them.Comment

OK John should know , so that answers the question and needs to be added to the JM.
