DB Electrical Starter:

[Captain D]

Hi all,

Just curious - at one point, I believe I had seen on the DB Electrical site that starter part number: #SND0088 was for the 383, 440 big blocks. However, that part number no longer exists. But, part number: #410-52033 says that they're the same.

However, even with the new part number, it doesn't list 383, 440. Only the 318, 360, & 290. And, they don't go back to the year, '1969' when looking up year, make, & model. Perhaps it's my OCD, but I'd actually like to see '383' when I go to make a purchase to know for sure what I'm buying. If it does fit other engine sizes that what's listed, they should include that info for customers + generate greater sales for that particular item:

Any info here about this unit...?

Just call them.

its probably a CYA for them, if they list it for something it wasnt OEM for, they may be liable if it goes wrong? on mine i had to take off the connector extension so it didn't hit the block, then it connected right up to everything on the 440.

Yeah, called them directly several days ago & after waiting an hour for a tech to finally pick up - they had no clue themselves. Nothing about if they have a starter for a 383 / 440, etc. I'd like to run with DB Electrical, but without more solid info it's a shot in the dark...

Thanks man for the link - I'll check it out!  

In the meantime, I had seen this unit from Summit (I wonder if folks here use this. Probably just the same thing, but more $ from Summit):
