This alternator came off my engine back when I redid everything in 2015 and has been sitting. I stumbled over it again today and when I saw the circle with 71 in it I got to thinking could this be the original to my 1972 400HP (P-code) w/air
My broadcast sheet calls out F11 so I assume the 11 is the end of the P/N tag GREEN CIRCLE 3438811.
Also forgot to add my SPD is 424 of 1972 so I know probably a longshot.
I'll post what I can find on it and please tell me if I have to uncover #'s elsewhere on this unit.
Thanks Ron
