I can't find my listings right now but I am pretty sure that is a 68 or 69 and 35amp would be non AC.

that that I know of, from what I have researched 1969 Corvettes and 1970 Corvettes and 442s had open-faced internally regulated alternators

852 is for a 69 HO still haven't found what the 851 is for - maybe the 69 442 since it was a 400

The Rallye 350 and all Olds small blocks did not use the open face alternator. On Oldsmobiles, it was used in 1969 and 1970 on big block applications only.

can you put up a picture? 35 amp doesn't sound right. What is the date code? Does it have a slight lip on the open face or is it with no lip like stevengerard shows in his pics? I have a feeling it may be an industrial unit.

i found a couple of more numbers but not that one. 1100777 is a 55 Amp and a 1100880 is a 37 amp - both have date stamps that would work for 69/70 cars. I'm with stellar on this I believe most alts were either 37 or 55Amp, but who knows.

So I am guessing it is an older alt based on the date stamp and that it is 32 amp

4 - 1964 (great year by the way)
F - June
26 - 26th day

I would think any alternator made in 1974 would be higher amps but I have been wrong many a times before

probably a 1974 with an internal reg. Alts with internal regs were not made until late 1968. Industrial units had 32 amp applications and there will be a small lip on the open face. This won't be a true auto openface style. the auto type had no lip extending in towards the bearing, only spokes. I think this will have a small lip on it. If so it is definately an industrial alt, especially if it has a 32A stamp on it.
