Electrical: Prestolite Alternator Wanted

[57pack]

Anyone have a good used Prestolite alternator for a 1965 V8 Wagonaire they'd be willing to part with? Guess one from 1963 up would interchange?
Thank you

I've got a working model. If I can find it, will let you know. Don't wait if someone else offers one...

'63 - '65 Prestolite 35 amp alternators interchange. The '66 models have a different mounting - a single thick mounting ear as opposed to the two widely spaced ears.
I do have several used ones available, but unknown whether working or not. Probably you can find one much closer to you. If not, contact me then.

I have 3 Prestolites in the garage. I know 1 of them is good. Did I mark it ? No. How can I bench test them to find out ??

I don't know what auto parts stores are around you, but here abouts they can test them on a machine. Usually it's a no charge deal.
Yep, I still need one if you find a good one.

Basic crude bench test. hook field terminal to 12 volt source a batt will do, ground it at vise that's holding it.multimeter hooked to batt. terminal ( the big one ) spin with rope on pulley, watch for voltage indication on meter. DON'T drop alt from vise they are fragile!!!dont ask. Luck Doofus

An oxymoron; they weren't good when brand new. "Not yet failed" might better describe that unit?

Yep, I'd go with that discription.

Did you find one yet? If not, I'll check mine today to see if its working.

There's one listed under Champ truck parts on the swap board for 10 bucks, unknown condition. I don't know if they're different than the cars.

Hi Sal, tried to send you a PM. Came back to me, said your mailbox was full.
If you can clean out some old PMs , I'll try tomorrow to send PM.
