Over many years, I've accumulated a pretty good inventory of starters.
I definitely don't need all of them, so I plan to sell off what I can
to make some room and to clear a few bucks.
Can someone give me details on interpreting the date codes
so I can figure out exactly what I have and post correct info
when I list them for sale?
Also, it would be good to know approximate values.
I'm sure I have some late '60's and early '70's stuff.

 

The date code's are not as important as the part numbers. They do matter but only in relation to the part number someone may be looking for. There should be a alpha numeric stamp for the date. The letter signifies the month, and the number stamp's, the year and the day. I think without having a starter in front of me, the first number stamp is the year. The part numbers will be 7 numbers. the prefix's will most likely be 1108 or 1107. If you list the part numbers I can give the application.

 

Starter date codes are as follows: First, a number that indicates the calendar year the starter was built (for example, 0 = 1970/1980/etc., 9 = 1969/1979/etc.,, 8 = 1968/1978/etc.). Second, a letter indicating the month of that year the starter was built (A = January through H = August, then J = September through M = December; the letter "I" is skipped). Third, a one or two digit number indicating the day of the month the starter was built. Sometimes, I've run into another number after the "day" number but I don't know what that extra number means.
