Would appreciate some input on correct restoration color & parts.
On my 1972 350 with ac and power steering, the alternator was painted black and then silver. Now that I'm restoring the car, I've been comparing my NCRS judging sheets (recently had the car judged) to the TIM&JG, I find some differences.
The car is a 1972 small block 350 with air & power steering. Build date of 5/22/72 or 5/23/72. My judging sheets said wrong alternator and pulley. When I look at the alternator is is stamped 1100544 61 with a date code of 2E4. That seems to be correct rather than the PN for the small block non T60 a/c engine. If the alternator is correct, then I question the pulley comment.
What I can't tell is if the correct Fan and pulley is on it. The TIM&JG mentions Zinc and stamped. The wording is somewhat confusing.
Here's some reference pictures of this 1972 to help with your assessment:
I know that the case needs to be stripped down to bare metal which is the correct finish. Looking at the fan and pulley, I'm not sure what would be correct. What's on there now works. I've been noticing the voltage jump occasionally from 13.x to mid right and then drop again. Tells me the internal voltage regulator is about done. Want to get this restored for mechanical, historical and cosmetic reasons.
I've received estimates of $89 in GA; $95 in IL and $150 locally do strip & rebuild it.
Comments appreciated
