Alternator decoding
I’m thinking this is the original alternative for my 1968 part number 1100794 = 37a date code 7L8 I’m thinking that stands for 1967 December 8th am I off base ? I’m putting new bearings in it regardless it was charging but howling. I took it off the 68 stepside

Re: Alternator decoding
Yes, it appears correct for your truck. 1968 307, 327 or 396 37amp.

Re: Alternator decoding
Test your diodes while you have it apart. A bad diode will cause a noise similar to a brg.
The alt will still charge with an open diode but will have much lower output. George |

Re: Alternator decoding
I have a noisy one also. Can you elaborate a bit on the complexity of swapping out the bearings. Mine charges great but it is in need of new bearings for sure…thanks !
