I have an alternator that was removed from a running 1966 Starfire 425 years ago, but am not sure if it is the original. Car was not A/C equipped.

The stamped numbers on it are as follows:

1100777 55A
7H30-12 V NEG

Does anybody know what this alternator is for, or how to read any date codes, etc??

Thanks in advance!!

 

It's an early 1967 F85 or 442 Alt...400 engine with AC or 400 w HD cooling + A.I.R. Date Aug 30 1967 (I think)

 

Thanks, mrolds69!!

Would the date code of 8/30/67 make this likely to be for a 1968 vehicle??

 

Right, my mistake. I said early 1967, but meant early 1968. I think the plants shut down in July to change over. I was looking for a 67 ap, the info I gave is for the 67 ap. I'll check again + see if they carried it over to 68 also.

 

Checked again, same alt used for 1968 442. While dated 67, I guess it's a very early 1968 alt.

 

Does anyone here need this alternator? Appears to be a 55 amp. unit for early '68 production, possibly correct for 442/Hurst Olds, according to other threads and posts here.

Make a reasonable offer.....I have no use for it, but it may be correct for your car!

 

Bump to the top....somebody NEEDS this!

 

Bump.....I KNOW somebody needs this alternator; it is obsolete and hard to find in any condition. I do not believe it has ever been apart, or rebuilt! This thing is nice, and was taken off a running car years ago!!

 

btt!

It is very dangerous to remove parts from a running car...

Good one, Yellow!

But the car was in Park, so I thought it would be safe.....if I used gloves!

The carburetor proved to be a little more difficult, though: I found out it wouldn't run when I unbolted it.......

 

Sorry, I've been out of town for a couple of days; just getting around to answers now!

Since I want this to go to the right person, please check all your part numbers/applications for the correct part! Thanks!

According to info given here, it should be correct for an early 1968 production car, either Olds or another GM model.

Is the alternator still available?
