When did SA switch to alternators on the assembly line?

Gee,

I have NEW ones! I can supply the harness with the correct plastic plug (the one that always got cut off and had spade/ring terminals installed when the later style alternator was used as a replacement.)

I can supply the harness, alternator plug and the plug that joins the main harness reproduced to Ford blueprints (I have them) made by a qualified electrical manufacturer. What I don't know and need to is if there is a "FoMoCo" wrap tag on the harness with the Ford engineering number. My replacement harnesses will NOT have the tag but as I have three different versions of the harnesses I want to be sure I am suppling the correct unit for the Cobra. I am pretty sure the Cobra version was either the 63 or 64 Thunderbird harness. In 1964 there were two different harnesses for the T-Bird, with and without A/C, as the Cobra would not have needed the extra feed wire for the A/C circuit I assume that was not the one. my best research indicates the 63 harness but I want to be sure. The harnesses have the grounding lug, the correct non-adheasive wrap and original type wire gauge/color and stripes.

The harnesses are $245.00 but I will take $50.00 off for the first person who wants one who can confirm the tag number for the COBRA useage, not the T-Bird, Galaxie, Mrcury, etc.

I also have a source for the correct alternators rebuilt as 60 amp units, the appearance is correct but they do not come with a pully and fan.
