The starter motor off My 70 Canadian Judge RAIII is Stamped McKinnon-Delco #1107716 8M29 Made in Canada. Can anyne explain this date coding? I read that McKinnon Industries Limited became a part of General Motors of Canada in 1969. Some people think it is original, does anyne know for sure?

The starter motor off My 70 Canadian Judge RAIII is Stamped McKinnon-Delco #1107716 8M29 Made in Canada. Can anyne explain this date coding? I read that McKinnon Industries Limited became a part of General Motors of Canada in 1969. Some people think it is original, does anyne know for sure?

Date code 8 M XX
8 is last digit of year of production
If its correct housinfor that era , proly had rectsngular notch at end for power transfer from solinoid to motorif so then 1968

1. Letters assigned to months alphabetical progression starting with Jan. = A
2. Last digit or two close to lettet is actual. Day of month...single until 10..,
3. Occasional stray # after that but noticably spaced away is anyines guess
