The late alternator I got for Liz doesn't fit. It's about .5" too thick.
I'm trying to install an internally regulated alternator in a '77 engine. Anyone? I'll be in SoCal the next two days and will bring the alternator with me. If anyone has a Carrera alternator I could see, I would be appreciative. |

Are there not different diameters as well? I know the racing engines used a small diameter fan, but were not regular production engines using them as well? Somehow I recall that the early 11 blade type were large diameter as was the 5 blade type that followed it. Then the new 11 blade type after that was a small diameter like the racing engines. Does that make sense? My book is out on loan, so I cannot look it up.
