Have you looked at the 1970-72 TIM&JG?

Re: Alternator stamp Inspection marks

Would you believe that is not in my judging manual? It has the RH code but not any others, oh did I mention that my Manual is a second edition one? I know I know, need to get a new one.

Bingo.

Most small blocks have the code "RF" and and the letter "A" on the right side that is usually upside down. I have had both stamps made and if they are not for your applicaton, I do have the correct size font and ink. If anyone is interested you have my email on my user profile.

We have been judging with the 4th Edition for several years.

Re: Alternator stamp Inspection marks

According to my (now tattered) fourth edition TIM&JG, your 454's alternator should carry a "RG" broadcast code if non A/C and a "RH" if it does have A/C. My 350's "RF" got full points this past summer @ the National convention. I have attached a photo for your consideration (and to see if I could post a photo on the new TDB format). Maybe you can use it for a font size/type guide on yours if you can't locate a stamp elsewhere. Maybe others can post a photo of the "RG" and/or "RH".

Hope this helps...

Pace Car Jeff (Jeff Ashen) sells the stamps. He's a member here.

Re: Alternator stamp Inspection marks

If you like inspection stamps that is fine. If you know your original alternator had one, by all means duplicate it. If you think every alternator had an inspection stamp I have a bridge to sell you.

Re: Alternator stamp Inspection marks

Hi,
A person can make a pretty realistic looking stamping (if they decide their alternator needs it) with a $7 set of rubber letter stamps from a craft store like Michaels.
Each letter is seperate so the combinations are all there. On the set that I bought the space between the letters appeared a little to large so I trimmed the stamp and it's wooden mount with an X-acto saw so the letters would be closer.
Often figuring out how to do it is the fun!

Alan
