Re: 69 correct alternator and brake booster

Have you tried John Pirkle (http://www.johnpirkle.com/) for the alternator? Also may want to try Don Briggs in Lighthouse Point, Fl. (954)480 6214 who was able to find a correct '78 alternator for me a number of years ago.

CSSB can furnish you a new MC and date it for you. They might also be able to furnish the booster. Most of the '69 alternators fall in the almost unobtainium parts catagory. Very pricey when you find them. Be aware that there some vendors that sell restamped units on fleabay

If you need an 1100825 alternator, I don't think that even John Pirkle will be able to find you one of ANY date. It never hurts to ask, though.

If you need any other 1969 alternator, it will be nearly as difficult. 1969 alternators are one of the most difficult to find of all Corvette alternators. It's not just a matter of "numbers", either. The drive end case configuration was unique to 1969-E1970 and the split ring end case configuration was unique to 1969 only.

what number are you looking for

Re: 69 correct alternator and brake booster

I'm not sure what number I need. I have a 427/390HP car no A/C with an engine build date of November 06, 69...Don

Re: 69 correct alternator and brake booster

Joe and others will confirm, but from my spec guide it appears you'd need 1100833 0r 1100825 if you have K66 TI. I'm not knowledgeable enough on the early C3 engines to know if TI was an option for your 427/390. The difference in the two alternators is the first is a 42 amp and the latter a 61 amp.

No TI on my car

Re: 69 correct alternator and brake booster

FYI- there is an 1100833 on ebay now for $650, I do not know if it is correct though?? Might be worth a call.

Sorry-forgot to add the ebay search number for you: 310122098227

This alternator has the 1969-correct split ring end case half. As far as the drive end case half, I can't tell from the picture. 1969 drive end case had SIX ribs. Sometime in 1970 this changed to a FIVE rib case. From what I can see of the drive end case, this looks to me like a five rib case (the five rib case has somewhat wider ribs than the six rib and these look like the wider ribs to me, but that doesn't mean they are). IF it is a 5 rib case, then it's not correct for 1969. I'd get that point straight before I'd consider buying this alternator.

The 1100833 would be the correct one for your car.

Re: 69 correct alternator and brake booster

Thanks Joe and all. I work for So Cal Edison (SCE) and they don't allow us to access ebay (and a lot of other sites) from work...Don

Call Ken Bruno from Ken Bruno Motorsports. He might have an alternator for your car. He does excellent work. (www.kenbrunomotorsports.com)

Re: 69 correct alternator and brake booster

I guess that ebay unit date of 8J5 October '68 is too far out for my Nov '69 build date anyway...Don

Re: 69 correct alternator and brake booster

what date does that equate to and what is the condition? Don
