    GM Alternator question

    Does anyone recognize this alternator? Not sure if it's wired correctly - no part number to be found on it.

    Thank You Mr Fixx

    After scapping years of paint off - I finally was able to read the markings as you have indicated. All looks good except the one AC connection was running to the Holley elect choke..???

    As I have read - that choke requires 12v DC - not a minor AC sensing source????

    The choke has never operated properly - never full open - either full closed or maybe 1/2 open - I jumpered 12v DC to it out of curiousity - and in a mater of 3 minutes - fully opened - U can see it open\move....

    I believe this is a performance issue

    This is why I'm digging in to everything... including - added a fuel pressure gage at the carb - this pump is maxed @2.8 - the Holley requires 7 to 9 psi.... I'll fix that latter

    Right now.... after repairing and still looking for what ever other wiring problems - I still need to fire this new 502 ...
    At least then -

    From the Heart Beat of a GM engine - Will come modivation !!

    Again Thanks
