When mounting the Delco remy I.d. tags on the generator and starter is it necessary to drill all the way through the case?

Not necessarily- - -just go deep enough for the part of the rivet with the spiral teeth to get a bite and secure the tag. If you drill into a field coil winding you're in deep kimchee!

I did this exact tagging for my 6V Hydramatic starter. I drilled in about 2mm or so, just enough for the rivet to catch. Didn't take too long at all.
