need starter interchange info!

[Mel]

Hey guys... someone's gotta have an interchange manual.

I need to know what other starters will fit a '56 desoto with a 331 hemi.

Our starter's tag says:
Chrysler Corp. # 1527688
6 volt pos MCH- 6113A
shift starter 1J112793

Thanks a ton!

Something dosen't look right to me (prob me though) between the '56 DeSoto an the starter number you give, according to my book, but here's everything that crosses between the two.
If ya need anything else holler,

Thanks! You answered my questions guys.

The hemi is a '56, sorry for the confusion, the desoto is another year. That might be what's throwing you off. I don't know if the starter is original to the motor or trans... the club got the car with that motor in it.

But the good thing is that I got 2 starters for it now that will work, no doubts. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey Mel Do you wanna try the one I have also? I need to get rid of that thing.. Let me know and I will check its numbers

Justin- just bought 2 off ebay, came as a pair. If for some reason these don't work, I'll let you know. They should since the part numbers match, but you know how ebay can be. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Oh, and do you need any spare parts for your flathead? This Thursday I'm gonna start ripping apart that parts car and see what's still good in it.
