I have a alternator with a part # 3438713 can anyone tell me what the amps are, and what model year its for i dont have a parts # book with this # in it. Thasnks FABO this is a great site.
look at the wire winding on the rotor. if it is basically full of wire it is 40 to 60 amps. if they are 1/4 in. or better below the lowest groves in the side of the rotor it is 30 amps.
3438 713 is a 1972 60-amp alternator with a double pulley. Your single pulley suggests this might be a "remanufactured" unit; if that's the case then the output specs are anybody's guess; rotors and stators and other components get thrown together in the "remanufacturing" process without any regard to which ones are supposed to be matched with each other.
