1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
Now for better news. My car had the wrong alternator on it when I bought it. It was a standard 35 amp instead of the correct 47 amp 2098850 one which was specified for AC cars. I managed to find one at Carlisle a year ago and left it with Jim Ridge (Dixie Restorations) to get restored. It even had a correct assembly date code for my Cuda!!! (11-68) and had the original rear bearing. Jim thought it had never been apart.
Got it back today and it is a work of art!! Looks so good, I almost hate to put it on the engine!!!
Alternator was tested @ 3450 rpm under accessory load to a minimum output of 37 amps. Actual amperage at time of unit completion was 55.8 amp with battery charging.
Jim Does amazing work and is highly recommended.
