Alternator Rebuild Part 1

First part of the rebuild began at the salvage yard. What car did it come from? What engine? Well the salvage yard was kind enough to write "65 Corvair".Though that did help I wanted to be sure though so I wrote down any identification tags or Vin#'s I could find. I did find such right next where I was working in the engine bay. In a frame to the left of the engine was such tag. I did write down the numbers and they were helpful in narrowing down what I had.I found this website helpful in deciphering the tag. This is what I had:


105375W/50429
"1" = Make - Chevrolet
"05" = Trim - Monza
"37" = Model - Coupe
"5" = Year - 1965
"W" = Plant - Willow Run
"50429" = Sequential Production Number

Well this was more of a confirmation of what I already figured. For the next time I'll get into identifying the the engine and alternator itself. Thanks for coming by stay tuned....
