Besides the Avanti type alt.,was there only one housing style presto-lite.I was going through a pile of them and found one odd looking,I'm sure others used them back then.

Yes there were only Two used by Studebaker, one adjusting Ear and Two.
Many other types were used on stationary equipment, fork lifts, tractors etc.
I have seen Motorola's used as a replacement that look a lot the same. Even those Nipondenso/Toyota/and Honda Units do look alike, but if yours says: Prestolite, then it is for something other than Studebaker.
Many Gen. Electric Shops have a Pile of them.StudeRich

I'm glad I saw this. I'll need a 'double ear' alternator to rebuild so I have a spare. There is a local yard that has a few Stude's in it and I'll know what to look for.Tom - Bradenton, FL

I have had hands on experience with a whole lot of Studes everything from '54 to '64, but not so much CanadaBakers!
I now (recently) bought and drive a '66 Cruiser, but knock on wood, it has required very little and I never noticed any difference in it's Prestolite, that might be a good replacement for the weaker ones.Last edited by StudeRich; 09-02-2013, 06:56 PM.StudeRich
