Starter motor
 
Mine is now fitted and I must say it is superb, the difference in "spin
rate" makes it sound very modern but has
far less drain on the battery. It was well worth the exercise, I am very
grateful for all the help I had from Dave Taylor and
Greg. So I now have a 407 which starts like a dream, does not overheat,
pumps it fuel up electronically it also has a dual point
distributor ( obtained from Martin Barns at ACCS), now get 18/19 to the
gallon, result!

What we need to do is establish if the 407/408 Mk1 starter is the same as the 408 Mk2/409/410 starter.

The Bristol part number for the 408 Mk2/409/410 starter was 2095150. If this is a match with the part# for the 407/408 Mk1 starter, then it is probably safe to just search for a 318 starter ("A" series, or poly head).

Does anyone have a parts list for the 407/408 Mk1 ?
Sorry to take quite so long to respond and no, I do not have the Bristol Nos., but two different contemporaneous Autodata-type sources give the same information:

407/08 Starter Motor — Autolite MDU700
408 Mk.II/09 Starter Motor — Chrysler, solenoid with reduction gear

Starter "Bristol" part number 2095150 seems to be a Mopar part
number, common to several engine families over many years.

Wouldn't it be a great help to all V-8 owners to verify or
cross-reference all engine parts to Mopar part numbers? Of course,
this may challenge some mythologies.

Yes, and just the sort of intelligence that many other one-make-clubs do compile and make available.

That's what BODA is for !!

I think the different Bristol sites / clubs all have their uses. In my opinion BODA is the best for parts advise. This is currently the best general discussion forum and BOC is great for individual car data.

I guess we are very lucky ?
