Title: starter and alternator
Post by: yachtsmanbill on February 07, 2019, 07:03:55 PM

The alternator has info stamped so pay attention. I havent looked at the starter for #s but with 33K on the clock, probably OEM. Its puke Buick green. 1964 Special V-6. Everything on the front of the motor matches 300-340-and 400(?) V8s. Both are probably serviceable but at least good for a correct core. $50.00 each plus the truck OBO<<  ws

Bill,
   While it will work on the V8 engines, take note that the V6 starter is different internally.  The 65 Skylark/Special Chassis service manual explains it.  The windings in it are different such that it turns faster, but has less torque.  I dug into this back in the early 90s when I converted a 65 Special from a V6 to a 300V8 4bbl engine.  I used the V6 starter and noticed how it cranked differently than the other 300 engines I had with the correct V8 starter on them.
   Alternator is the same as V8 cars though.  The one you have should be a date coded original, which may be a treasure to someone here.

Alternator was made December 19, 1963. This would be an incorrect date for a 1965 model - agree?
