63-67 Alternator Stator Color Judging

Re: 63-67 Alternator Stator Color Judging

Chris,

Here's my original 67 (7F16) alternator (37A):




Note the ring between the halves is basically rust, and kinda looks like caramel.

However, if you take it apart to swap stators and rotors with a replacement, you'll find that the ring was actually painted black. Here's a shot of two stators (original on the left):



The color might be different on sizes other than the base engine 37A alternator. It should be noted that the capacity of these alternators is determined by windings in the stator. The 61 amp stator (on the right above ) which I put in my original, has heavier wiring and a slightly different windings.

Here's my finished 37A (aka 61A) alternator:



I guess I now have the wrong color on the ring.

Re: 63-67 Alternator Stator Color Judging

Just curious, how did the alternator stators with black painted center ribs judge at Bloomington?

Did anyone loose points for either black or caramel?

Michael; This is the original alternator on my 67, received a 5 point deduct for plating/finish. Nothing said about the stator. Bloomington June 26 2009. Bill

FYI Torrington was purchased by Timken several years ago. All bearings have Timken on them now.

Bill,

Geez, your alternator looks more like the original finish than the reskinned restored ones. 5 point deduct for what. I guess Bloominton is a different type of judging.

Gene,

How about posting a photo of a correct Torrington bearing so we all know what to look for....

Everything at BG is in 5 point intervals. So, the smallest amount per item to lose is 5, then 10, 15 or 20.

Do I see a hint of some remaining black on the stator on the far left side?

Steve, Chris, check out the post that Wayne sites an old posting that has a very good photo of a Torrington bearing
