Need Help With An Alternator
Hey all,
I picked this up over the weekend but I don't know what I've got. I was told it works fine but haven't tested it yet. The part number doesn't match the case though. Is this put together from parts? How can I tell what the amp output is? Thoughts? The part number is D0ZF10300-B.

A "bitsa" alternator.
The "D0ZF" front case is a 70 Mustang, the rear case is the 63/64 "plug in, rounded case" type used on the small block Cobras and 63/64 Thunderbirds and some full size Fords and Mercs. |
That's pretty much what I thought. It doesn't fit the 289 mount but it's close. A little trimming and it will be fine. How can I tell what the amp output is? Is there a way to bench test that?

Take it to an alternator rebuild shop and let them tell you how many amps/volts it's puttng out if anything. You can usually even take it to your local auto parts shop for testing.

Likely that is a 38/40 amp unit. You can build it 60 amps using stock Ford pieces in that case, higher with aftermarket parts.
If it is a reman from a parts store it will likely have VERY cheap bearings in it. Worthwhile to have them changed to some quality bearings. We could buy both front and rear bearings for under $3.00 until recently. If you rev your engine the cheap-os will not last. Spend $20.00 and eliminate a possible failure. |
Good advice, thanks!
