They are marked 66 Valiant. The guy who gave them to me said they didn't fit his 66 but maybe he was mistaken. I didn't see his car and he had inherited it along with some parts. I just know they don't fit my 63 Valiant. If you recognize them and want them i will give them to you for the cost of...

Thanks @Vaanth!

Just remeasured and I got a long ext (34.4 for dim D). I was measuring from the front of the trans, not the bell housing and if i do some math I can see the 27.x I was getting. Mystery solved. Now I'm not sure which rear seal to buy again. The Timken 7300S is listed as applicable to the "A230...

Wow, thanks for al the detail @Vaanth ! From what you stated above, I've got a unit out of a truck or a service replacement because there are definitely no VIN numbers (see pic). I measured the bell housing to end of extension and get about 27.3 inches. Is your 30.5 inch number for the long...

Thanks @townsend that helps. Went for a drive and by matching the speedo and tach I get 2.875:1 (1st) and 1.643:1 (2nd). Considering the accuracy of my measurement method this seems like its probably 3.08/1.7 Rockauto lists a Timken output seal (7300S) that shows applicable to the A230 in...

Just crawled under again and wirebrushed some more, I'm pretty certain it is 10 + 28. And the mystery numbers are actually on the plate where the shift linkage goes through, not on the housing itself.

Trying to determine exactly which a230 I've got in my 63 Valiant. The previous owner told me he swapped it for a newer synchro model but I got no more info that that. Below are all the codes I can find on the housing: C11642K on casting PP2303397 on id plate Other side of housing are two numbers...

OK, new pre 70 VR adn it all works perfectly. My alternator had 2 field terminals and looked like a newer isolated field so I wrongly assumed it was. After convincing myself I had a grounded terminal, it makes sense because the application chart for this alternator shows my 63 valiant. Anyways...

Alright, I'm back at it. I been trying to use the C8313 regulator with the single field connection alternator so I guess it shouldn't work. Although it really seems like its charging because I'm driving the car around and not loosing battery voltage. But the only way I can get the system to...

Thanks everyone, I was starting to wonder if its all working but this alternator just sucks and is only giving my 13V. I randomly tried swapping polarity on the regulator and got 18+V for a sec and shut it all off ASAP! So I guess it *can* put out more, it just doesn't want to. Anyways, it...

OK, so back to original configuration. Car runs great, but I still get no more than 12.4V at the battery (off/on/running all the same). When I measure at the alt output post I'm getting 13V now, but still nowhere near the 14V I expect. I'm going to try to go back to the original regulator next I...

Thanks for jumping in RedFish. So if the field terminals measure no resistance to ground, that means I should only be connecting the one green field wire, right? But it won't charge. Shoudl I go back to the old style regulator? I bench tested it and it works as expected. I tried unplugging the...

1963 Valiant. Slant 170 w/ turbocharger, MSD6 BTM, 400W stereo system. Bought it that way and power never seemed to be an issue. No idea what alternator was in there but it was a round back with only one field wire running from an old style voltage regulator (black box). Maybe that means it was...
