C3-Alternator

[Barry #41479]

I am looking for a date coded 1102908 alternator for my 1978. The build date is May 25 so I am looking for a date code of A, B, C, D, or E 78. and help on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried John Pirkle?

John,

Have not heard of John Pirkle. Is that an individual or a company? Thanks for the info.

Barry, here is what I have for John Prikle...

John Pirkle is in Agusta GA Telephone: 706-860-9047

I know he has a web site so if you do a search on google, it should bring it up. If you do not get it, I can look for the web site as I have it in one of my older e-mail messages.

I agree with the others; John Pirkle would be a good source for a completely restored alternator of the part number and date you need. I wouldn't think that this would be a very difficult alternator to locate. They were used on other Chevrolet models besides Corvette and they were also used on some Pontiacs.

Re: C3-Alternator

I would be interested in knowing if John P. is collecting thease newer numbers now as I ask about an alternator for a 78 Pace car a few years ago and he had none. Lyle

Barry,

I found a 1102908-63A dated 7J12 for my Jan built 1978 about 5 years ago from Don Briggs Corvette Parts in Lighthouse, FL. The receipt I have shows I paid $145. Don's number is 954-480-6214.

I too had checked with John Pirkle, but he was not really dealing in alternators as "new" as ours. Good luck!

Greg.

I think that you will find that Pirkle has updated his inventory to include later models
