Alternator rebuild

[Topcat]

Anyone ever rebuild their alternator before?

I don't like the looks of the new style alternator (incorrect webbing) and I would like to keep the original designed look. Where do you get the parts? Or who sells them already done?

I once rebuilt one a long time ago in auto shop and recall how easy it was.

any alt rebuild shop should be able to handle it or contact 4C , he got a new alt where it looks correct & had all new parts inside

I looked on line for parts and never found a source. I'll ask 4C.

Thanks CP.

 NAPA has parts.

Thanks, I'll go over and get them. I just picked up an original style alternator on E pray for 5 bucks plus shipping.

I took the alternator apart that I got and then I put the front half of that one (diode type) onto the one that is an original 71 alternator (3 field)
The original 71 front half portion had a missing web on the front.

So now I have an original 71 alternator for my engine. This is why I wanted to rebuild it.
