    Looking for a 1969 GS Jan Build No AC alt. for rebuilt. PM or post what you got. Thanks, Mike

    Once you get one and have it restored, I made up the stamp to put the 2-letter codes on the 1969 37 amp alternators. I can loan it to you if you want.

    Just make sure you do a couple of test runs before using it, otherwise it makes a mess. Also it is much easier to do before you put it on the car. Don't ask how I know.

    You will also need to clean the paint off the "letters" before it dries, so it will be ready for the next usage. I used a little lacquer thinner and it worked well.

    If I remember, I will take a pic of the finished part so you can see how it looks when done.

    Maybe, but do you have the alternator #?

    I don't remember having that number, but I will try to take a look this weekend.

    I'm assuming 8L would also work as a good date code for this.

    Thanks Brett, I saw that one. The 55 amp for $30 also on EBAY seems like a deal for someone. The J is just a little too early imo. Want an L or M. Does Steller do both starters and alternators? Take care, Mike

    He does, yes.

    Also voltage regulators as well.

    I have a 1100761 37amp date code 9A8
    If I'm figuring this accurately that would be Jan. 8, 1969

    Hi Duane,
    "VA" on your alternator above signifies the 37amp? I couldn't find the info in the 69 Motion thread. Sorry for so many questions. :-0

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Those pics are from that thread.

    The "VA" code is for a 1100761 37 Amp alternator, which is correct for my 69 Non-AC car.

    And to be totally correct, as I have been told by several people, the code is supposed to be on the front part of the housing like shown in the pic above with the "BD" code.

    I made my own stamp for this. I knew the size letters from the assembly manual and then cut out the letters from a piece of gasket material. Then glued them to a small block of wood, and there you are.

    Real high tech, and very expensive to make.:D:D:D
