I'm enjoying some Buffalo Trace. Numbing on the throat. Num, num, num!

Just the facts, ma'am
Thanks. The fact they can rewind is impressive. I've learned the hard way that sometimes even local rebuilders are hacks.
That's how this one got sand blasted and drilled.
It died that weekend while driving into Albany. At the first rest area I did a little troubleshooting since I had brought a spare VR and ballast resistor, but not an alternator.
Drill a hole in the top. put a red head in and fasten a hook to the red head.
3/4" x 8-1/2" Red Head Trubolt Wedge Anchor, Pkg 10
good for around 10k lb sheer strength..7K tension strength..
I use a puller to get pulley off alternators but how do you get it back on...got to have the back half off ????Thanks. The fact they can rewind is impressive. I've learned the hard way that sometimes even local rebuilders are hacks.

When I see new alternator parts for sale now, most are WAI / Transpo made you know where. Quality could be anywhere.
Maybe some rebuilders have a few other sources. But at least one that can rewind has more options, and almost certainly has experience with what will work out in the long run.

They like the word reclaimed parts,fancy for used.
I think those have to be pressed on with the rotor out. I (We at the parts store) WENT THROUGH A HALF A DOZEN ROUNDBACKS BEFORE I got the single groove pulley I needed. Damn tablet keyboard.
I got a chrome pulley ,I want to put on the 74 dart to match the other pulleys.
Wish they had threads in front like p/strg pumps do.

From what I've read in the shop manuals, a big YES.
They say support the shaft when the pulley is pressed on.
It's pretty easy to seperate the case.
Best to remove the brushes first. Then the three case screws.
Only trick is to remember the stator is attached to the back half, rotor to the front.
When you pull the front, make sure the stator stays with the back half, or you'll do like I did yesterday on one of them.

Can those alternators be converted to dual field?Thanks. The fact they can rewind is impressive. I've learned the hard way that sometimes even local rebuilders are hacks.

I have a pile of the single field ones that I took off cars that I electronic ignition converted.
I convert them all because I don't fiddle with points
Thanks,I try it this weekend.
I'm not sure if I can handle them straight... I've had some that I can handle, and some that are too hot for me....
But it would numb my throat where I couldn't feel anything...

I believe that they can... If you have a dual field and only need a single, I've seen where they ground the extra field terminal...
Contact them and see what they can do... If they don't do mail order, I can be the middle man for you...
However, I don't see why they would not do business in the mail...

P & G sandblasted and cleaned up my son's old alternator that looked pretty beat up and it looked brand new when they were done...
They have done great work for me so far...

Cut it up and eat a little then,it will help clear the congestion...nose maybe a little running but you'll feel better.I'm not sure if I can handle them straight... I've had some that I can handle, and some that are too hot for me....

I can tell whenever you post because I get a glimpse of one cherry *** 66 dart. Even when I wasn't into early A's, I always liked that car. Red suits it so good and it just has a clean and innocent personality for a car.
Who are "they " and I was asking about converting from single field to dual field.
This place... It's local to me and makes their own guts/parts in house including windings... Not the cheap quality Mexico or China parts...

Uh. Kindof. But its brutal.
That's what the guy did here. Drilled a hole so a second insulated brush could be installed. For no reason may I add. I've always used a positive control regulator (aka single field).
Inside view of the unmolested one. The grounded brush uses the cast in brush holder circled.
