American Motors starter motor

(1/2) > >>

RocketScientist:
I came across an American Motors starter that was on a 1970, 351W with a manual transmission (non Mustang - possibly Bronco?) and was curious about the name. It has the D0AF-11131-D part number on the aluminium top and a number that starts with 2DCXXon the body. From the partial number I suspect that it's a 1972 replacement but I would like to be sure.

I am looking for a starter  to suit a 70 Dearborn B302 so I don't think it's a fit, but still curious about the starters origins.

If it a rebuild it could have any combination of components.The rebuilders are not choosy. The stamped number on the stamped case is the one that is most relevant for a concours correct starter. Ford changed the design of the nose cone in 1970.They are much easier to find compared to earlier.

It likely would have fit. Have seen this (starter with American Motors stamping on the main case) a number of times. Like the odd master cylinders with the cap held in place with the center single bolt.

A lot of cross pollination between AMC and the big three,but mainly ford. Intermittent wipers system between 71-73 and maybe other years was exactly the same as the AMC system up to the late 70's. I grew up in an AMC town and plenty of parts cars to draw from that also worked on the mustang

RocketScientist:
Thanks, I'm a little slow and didn't make the connection between 'American Motors' and AMC.
