Best I can make out of what is seen, mid-to late 70's 60 amp, typically found on virtually any Ford product with a few options, in that era.

Thx Richard.

It's difficult, even for me to see this alternator in front of me and unable to read the blurred numbers.....

Take a lead pencil and rub it over the markings.  Then take a fine grit sandpaper and lightly sand the area.  Often times this will help make the stamping much clearer.  Works for me.

 Ford started to metal stamp alternators in the spring of 1969 and use that style of fan in the fall of 1969 . Regardless of date code is not appropriate for a 1967 car. If this is for your Mustang it would make sense to pass given your other choices.
