Picked up a 923A2 yesterday

I got it with Shenkman yesterday at Ft Indiantown Gap. It had really dead batteries, like 3 volts each and the alternator would not charge. We had to wire the fuel solenoid open.

It ran good on the way home. It seems to have the same power as my 931A1.

I need to sort out the alternator issue. I put in new batteries and it started and ran good, but it is not charging.

i saw a post about a new delco alternator that can be swapped in. That sounds like a good option. I am interested in any other options to swap in. I can have this alternator rebuilt at a local shop, but it saw some posts where guys were not happy with the reliability of the stock alternator.

I want to use a thread in block heater, it looks like all of the C series motors use the same block heater, 6CTA, ISC or QSC.

You guys must have had fun! Are you bringing it to rousch creek? As for the alternator, i have been happy with mine so far. I have 25,000 miles on mine (early style) and no problems. Check to make sure you have power going to the excitor wire at the alternator before you rip it apart. Wish i was there to help work on it!

Good to hear from you Tom. Hope the new job is going well, quite a move. I took the 931 to RC in October and had a good time. Planning on taking the mog in the spring.

I need to wait to register this one until next January as a 1990.
