Isn't it better to put a blank casting on rather than a restamp?
[/ QUOTE ]Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks that way!
My numbers-match 67 GTO had a Chevy 61-amp alternator on it. Figure with 81,XXX miles it only makes sense that it would have been replaced at some point, but I didn't like the fact that it's the WRONG one. I obtained two alternators, both stamped on different halves, and will be combining them to create a numberless alternator. This is, in my mind, "more correct" than the rather common 1100704, 37A alt even though a properly dated 'correct' original really wouldn't cost much either. The water pump had been replaced but I've rectified that too with a correct casting that doesn't have a date on it. Despite the fact that the originals are long gone these parts aren't "wrong" anymore and I'm not trying to fool anyone...
