Re: 837 alternator stamping
from what I have been told by the experts, the "7" should be a fat/stretched out at the top "7" which that one is, looks real to me, you can check the date with the experts as the 837's were only made in a few batch runs and all the batch dates are known/available.SULLY

Re: 837 alternator stamping
Pirkle is your guy.....
The backside is a later housing, and the pulley is wrong. Stamping looks very good, but you never know anymore these days. There are a lot of blank housings floating around. Stamping looks exactly right to me (maybe even too nice) - but I wouldn't bet my money on it, without confirming with an expert.

Re: 837 alternator stamping
Since the 837s were used on Z's as well as L78/L72, that amounts to 24,000+/- alternators. Why were they only built in a few batches?

Re: 837 alternator stamping
Apparently it was real.... "427-king" is now selling the alternator, but this time with a $1400 price tag.
