Help Identifying Alternator

[swbradley1]

Can you rebuild one off an old Chevy truck to 24VDC?

We can sit around all day bashing China but that isn't going to get Steve's truck back on the road. I still suggest biting the bullet and getting the one George recommends that do fit the bracket.

I'm assuming he is trying to avoid boring out the pulley by getting a different model?

Since I have the front end of my truck taken apart I was able to get some better pictures of the alternater and the pulley alignment and fan clearance.

Steve's truck was back on the road as of 10:20 this a.m. - Just in time to make it (a bit late and a bit dirty) to Wings 'n Wheels at Teterboro Airport! Great show (esp the Corsair). Missed yesterday's Kiwanis Touch A Truck, but learned a lot.

Lots of thanks to everyone who contributed. I did change the pulley because I couldn't find a shop to machine the one I got from Kenny Kublo and as a result did a little ad libbing on the install. Nevertheless, it works and charges on the tick at 1K RPM. Got some photos and ideas I'll pass along if there's interest.

As a downpayment, here's my buddy Jack after he one Best Military Vehicle posing with The Victory Belles. No trophy in this one, but it's the best of the girls. You'll forgive me for the choice.

It's been a few years since my time in the alternator shop but I think we did some of the old style Chevy one wires in 24v, I will have to ask. Did it end up being a 21 or 27 si alternator? That part of the thread was confusing.

 

[welldigger]

Tmamerica's kit specs a 27si. Steve ordered a 21si. Not sure if that's what he ended up using or not.

 

[SteveKuhn]

Yes, 21si.
