C1 1960 FI Generator 1102173

[Tom D.]

Chicago Corvette catalog says Generator 1102173 is correct for 1960 FI models. NCRS pocket Guide says Generator 1102173 is for 290 HP only.

Wasn't there a lower HP FI option, and if so: What generator is correct for the other FI engine?

Thanks

Not sure but all 60 FI equipt used a distributor tach drive. The 2043 model is a generator tach drive. My guess is the 2173 for the lower HP FI.

Tom -

The lo-horse (250hp) F.I. engine used the 1110915 distributor, which didn't have a tach drive; that combination used the standard 2043 generator with the tach drive gearbox.

John is right, low HP FI used standard tach drive generator. Don H.
