WTB-Alternator

Is there even a real 9D2 date on an 837 alternator? I've seen and have a 9D3 but don't think I've seen a 9D2 FWTW.

Yes, all June cars have 06A stamped on the trim tag, but not all 06A's where built the first week of June. My car VIN is right at the end of May beginning of June so I'm thinking anything after that first week wouldn't be correct. My engine is 0604 built, how far past that is good? What date do I need? I'm no expert, just a guy in need.


Not sure who told me those dates, but I'm sure they can be verified by somebody in the know, but being the average Joe American person I am I personally don't have that information, I just asked someone years ago. 9 D 2 and 9 D 23 are what I have written down in my notes to look for. IDK guys.

If that's the case I'll keep looking, something may pop up. I found a dated starter cheap just last year and I bought the dated brake stuff from you fairly reasonable for the dated M/C this past spring. Oh they're out there, I just have to be patient. Been looking for 13 years.

Gary, it maybe a long shot but you might want to try Jim Brady over at Supersport sales. There's a chance he might have one collecting dust on a shelf or something. Here is the link with the phone number:

How's it going Sal. Thanks for that link. I'll give it a shot and drop your name if that's OK? I haven't had the chance to get my starter done yet either. I called that guy you know in Philly for a rebuild but never got an answer back.

I also doubt Jim would sell one cheap. Your best bet would be scouring the swap meets early on. Pick up every alternator and check the number. That's how some of them have been found lately.

&quot;Your best bet would be scouring the swap meets early on. Pick up every alternator and check the number.

And assuming you ever find one cheap and that its not a restamp , what did you save?

Or you could waste your money on a round of golf or going to a football game. I'll gladly spend my money going to swap meets and enjoying every moment digging through someones boxes to find a little treasure. No better way to spend a weekend!!

I second that motion.

Thanks guys for the tips. Local swap meets are few and far between here. At one time there was one at Dover Downs race track, but I have no clue why it hasn't been back. Carlisle is a good place, but I haven't the time to just take off and go there, family and boat load of grand kids take up a bunch of my time, so,I just hit the forums, ebay and maybe on-line sites. It's been a hard road locating the parts I need, but I do what I can. A dated alternator is pretty much that last big item I really need now. It's been 13 years and I haven't found a decent dated one yet for what I can afford.
