Alternator Ink Stamp Discussion
Brant:
NOTE: This thread is a composite of (so far) four threads on the same subject
I know it is generally accepted that the 65-66 cars had Autolite stamped alternators.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any images of an original, production line alternator that was stamped. I've seen just a few factory photos, and none of them seem to have alternators that were stamped (at least you can't see the stamp on the top of the alternator-may have had the stamp on the bottom side.)
I also have a few original alternators and cannot see any remnants of a stamp. Granted, after many years, it may be difficult to see something like this.
Bob Gaines:
Brant, you might review the thread that was active on the SAAC site a couple weeks ago about the same subject . It has pictures and discussion. I surprised you didn't catch it.Bob
J_Speegle:
Would agree that few had the ink stamp on the top of the alternator but a few do (as well as double stamped) so we have the possibility. Prefer to have them stamped on the bottom.
Would check out the thread as Bob mentioned - we can discuss further if anything is left after than trek ;)
But in a effort to help members here - here are a couple of examples
Brant:
...jeez...I don't know how I missed that thread either. It is going to take a while to sort through that one!
Thanks, guys!
J_Speegle:
Yes like may there threads can take some side trips due to a couple of the usual suspects - LOL
