Examples are in the  Alternator (Delcotron to Delco Remy folks) the pulleys 
could 
be reused off  the old unit, the mounting locations could be "rotated" to one 
of any four  positions as designed in the system, and only where the output 
at 
low  speed or high speed outputs were special requirements or drove cost up 
due  
to the extra copper in the windings, did they have a service part  
variation....so a handfull of models could cover the total GM Line...Of  
course CORVAIR was 
a different drive end unique unto itself, so it wasn't  always possible to 
reduce the field inventory.

Jerry - At the Powermaster booth at SEMA this week, they were showing their  
latest high-output alternators for use on "Vintage" rods. They were 
constructed  to look like old Delco Generators, but with the internals to provide a  
internally regulated alternator output. They were big, black and massive  
looking, just like the originals. Note, they were NOT built as counterfeit  
look-a-likes, with Delco lettering or stickers. They just resembled the  originals. 
some with the step-sizes body diameter. What a hoot!  - Seth  Emerson
 
Note #2 - I will try to get out a full report on the SEMA show by next  week.
