At some point the alternator on my 70 Challenger (318 w/ac) was replaced with a re-manufactured one. I'm going through a lot of trouble to bring my car back to a factory original look. I will need to send the alternator out to be restored, but if am going through the expense I want to make sure I am starting with the correct core. The one I have looks correct, but it has the wrong part number stamped on it "2098830" date coded "47 63" with a rear casting date of "1966". I have plenty of time to search for the correct core, but I need to identify the part number I am looking for. Here is a snippet from my build sheet, which shows a "78" under "Alt". Am I correct to assume that this corresponds to "3438178" listed in the Chrysler parts catalog ?
thanks Chris
