<VV> Engine building - Alternator

[Ron]

To actually do it, the article in the Tech Guide is the best source.  For 
info on alternators, you can't go wrong with:
http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/delcoremy.shtml

Read both of those and you'll be the site expert.

> Hi all,
>
> I understand that if we are using the external regulator that we can get
> a rebuild '70ish Chevy alternator locally and swap the innards and fan
> to the Corvair front housing.
>
> The note I have is: "Use '70 Nova 6cyl to get 37 amp, but if you get '70
> Nova V8 with A/C you get 63 amp."
>
> However, it's a bit confusing to me whether the REAR housing for Chev is
> correct - there is some discussion about the bolt hole for the rear
> brace not being present on Chev alternator but available on
> Buick/Olds/Pontiac.
>
> So should I be asking for an alternator for a '70 Pontiac instead? Any
> particular one?

> Thanks,
