The alternator you described cannot be a unit originally installed on a 1963 model car. As of the date of its manufacture, no 1963 model cars were being built. So, it has to have been originally installed on a 1964 model.

The October, 1963 date is within the 6 month "window" allowable under NCRS and NCCB guidelines for your March, 1964 built car. So, I don't see how the date can be a problem.

The alternator drive end and split ring end case can be "re-aligned" by 90 degrees. This is called "clocking" in alternator parlance. It's also the reason why there were so may different alternator part numbers---for many, only the clocking was different between part numbers.

Is that # correct ?

Alan -- 1100660 doesn't exist in my Delco books; always thought the '64 42 amp with TI was 1100669 (I have one that is dated 2M17).

Re: Is that # correct ?

I have a June 1963 alternator that works fine. It was installed in my 65 and I have no need for it. Let me know if you are interested. It is a 660 code as well.

It's 669 Sorry! *NM*

and my 669 is 3M17, not 2M17 (cat on keyboard) *NM*
