Ammeter to Voltmeter...who does it?
When I started taking the motorhome apart two years ago, I made sure to keep all of the parts I took off. When I reinstalled the engine, I converted over to a dual pulley setup, because I used a Mopar A/C compressor from a 1983 B150. I also took the alternator and the rest of the dual pulleys from it. I did keep the alternator I pulled off of my motorhome though, and it sat on the parts shelf. It was filthy and I figured it was probably a reman'd unit.
Today, after having thought about this thread, I decided to clean the alternator, to see if I could find a part number or date code. Lo and behold, there is the blue-anodized round aluminum tag, still on the alternator, staring right at me. 3755407, 20th week of 1975 (May 12-16), 60A...it's the original alternator.
Needless to say, it's getting rebuilt and the dual pulley is being added to it.
So my final question for you Mopar electrical gurus, because I don't want to overstay my welcome....should a 60A alternator be enough to power my motorhome necessities?
