very fat and very dumb 40 Report post Posted January 6, 2019 I found a vintage alternator (on the left) in my pile of parts that came with a 69 GT Fastback I bought a while back. My research showed that this probably an original alternator. I put it next to a recently purchased Napa rebuild for comparison. Feel free to opine if you have any input. GO HAWKS!!

69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted January 6, 2019 It looks original but appears to have been refurbished? I think the fan blades were originally gold dichromate finish. Can you find any manufacturer marks on it anywhere? I think they had an ink stamp and Ford tags on the wires that may be gone or painted over. Let us know what you find.

very fat and very dumb 40 Report post Posted January 6, 2019 I think you’re right about the gold dichromate Raven. I did have it rebuilt as it was kinda nasty, turned out great. Here’s a pic of the back. No question, I posted because it may be helpful to someone in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
