WTB-Alternator

"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.".......then figure in your time, entry fees , travel and hotel bills. 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.

There is a 9 F 14 837 on ebay now for $675.00. I would pay that price but it's too late and maybe a re stamp? I've seen the 9 F 17 before but not that date.

Gary,
I clicked on your link to ebay and although the seller says it's a 9F 14 the picture of the date sure looks like a 9F 17 to me. Good price if the alternator for sale is actually the one pictured.

Price wise, it's just about what I would pay, date wise it wouldn't be correct for my car. I looked at the date and thought it looked more like a 7 then a 4, that's why I posted. Not very clear to really say for sure.


Does anyone have any clear cut evidence that this date would even be correct for my car? I see where the seller has made a correction on the date.


Just to add to this, I posted this question on the CRG site as well if no one here knows for sure...but I hardly think you guys wouldn't know either.

"Does anyone have any clear cut evidence that this date would even be correct for my car?" Check the ending monthly production numbers for the plant June[end of May thru end of june] divide by 30,and you will have an approximate day of production in June.

Already done that years ago. Spoke with others at CRG for verification...early June is what we come up with. Your statement doesn't help with the date though, any reason for this? Just trying to find what I need man.
