El_cameron Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I was given these by the guy I get my wood from. He said they were "generators" he found in a barn with a bunch of 27 Packard parts (and a 27 Packard). I cant find any markings on two and the third has the model scraped off and the serial of 5B23 which Delco-Remy said they cant use to identify them. I dont know if they are alternators or starters and what they go to. If anyone has any info I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 All three appear to be generators, which were used to make electricity in cars before alternators were invented. The center one is marked 12V, so it's likely from 1956-1962 era. The center one is obviously a GM part, and the silver hammertite one on the right appears to be GM as well. The one on the left looks like a Ford unit to me (as much as they can be IDed by looks). Of course without model #'s it'd tough to tell what any of them would fit. All three appear to be about the same era/age (1950's, early 1960's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 The two on the left look just like the generators that were on my Chev Corvairs from '60-64 <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Based on my experiance last month with some generators from the same era they aren't worth the $4.99 starting bid on eBay. Howerver they did add to the total weight at the scrap yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
