Need help decoding alternator 1100693 37a 6m12. Would this be used on a non a/c car? thanks
Yep Byron, 37 amp it is and used on a lot of engines utilizing standard stuff including 67 (the model year this one is for) Corvettes without either a/c or electronic ignition (42 amp).I believe that would be the correct 37 amp standard alternator for a non-A/C car. Date is December 12, 1966.
I think an A/C car would use the 1100750 alternator (61 amp).
7 G 19 is indeed July 19, 1967 assembly of the alternator.1100796 61A on my car, an 11A build. Has a 7G19 date code, I never took the time to learn how to decipher it. From Bryon's post above, I guess it's July 19, 1967 ? I always assumed it was original, but being over 3 months prior to my cars build, what do you think ??
My feeling as well, but what's odd is the car had no other options that I'm aware of, that required the higher output alternator. Maybe something the original owner thought he needed, who knows, but either way , it's close enough to being correct for my car, I'm happy to have it.In my opinion, there is a decent chance it is original. Especially because it is not the "common" 37 amp.
