Starter Woes Still

I posted a topic last month about a starter for my 50 Nash with what I believe is a 51 motor,[ according to the manual]. The flywheel ring gear is set back 1/2 inch from the front of the flywheel. Someone sugested to get a delco remy 1109463 starter, which I did. First try, she jammed up. Apparently not the correct one, or maybe I need a different bendix. Does any one have any idea what starter this motor takes? This is the only thing holding me back from getting this thing running. Your help is greatly appreciated. Jim

    Yes ,It could be a Rambler engine that I have. It's No.S22176. I had to change the harmonic balancer from the wide pulley to the narrow one to match the generator and fan pully. Yes,the generator is on the side which runs the water pump. The motor I pulled out was No. S350230 Wereas, the flywheel was bolted to the crank, the one I replaced held the flywheel with studs. Hope this helps with idenity. Jim

    I was just going by the manual. That was the best I could do with the infomation I had. The guy I bought it off of gave me some bad info. Anyway, I will search for the starter you mentioned. Do you have an interchange book? I guess I should invest in one of those. Sure would save a lot of chasing. Thank you very much. Jim

    You have a 51 Statesman engine. Numbers between S-207001 and S-306795 confirm this. Starter part # is Delco Remy 1109463 for Models 10 and 40. Model 60( I believe is Ambassador)is 1107950 or 1107965. The part # is differant for a 49 and 50 and that may be the problem

    I put in 1109463 starter into S-22176. No go. It bolted in but bound up. Wouldn,t even turn using balancer bolt. Kenu-tex says its a 49 Nash 600 motor by his books. taking Delco 1109451. Interchangability didn't seem to be much of an issue back then.
    RonS please note you have seven digits in your numbers wereas I only have six. Would that make a difference in the model or year of engine? I also have an extra block S-83120. Would you know what that's out of? Thanks Jim

    Motors Manuals will have the info on which starter, generator, etc fits which model by the number on the unit. Nash was probably the worst as far as making changes so things wouldn't interchange from year to year, yes, worse than Chrysler!, Bill Archer put a 51 Ambassador engine in his 40 Ambassador years ago and had to make so many modifications that he almost gave up on it. But he got it in there in spite of Nash Motors.
