Johnson <imfatdad@xxxxxxxxx> <mailto:imfatdad@xxxxxxxxx?subject=[AMC-List] Un-alternating....> I am hoping that only brushes in my alternator are bad... 65 American, Does anyone know long after '65 the same altinator was used?? According to TSM I have brushes are easily replaced, going to try to change brushes before I scrap the entire unit. Local parts store lost my main guy to new hardware store in town... kids left on counter know how to tap into computer only..... you guys know the deal, cars did not exist before '70 or so in computer databases...... Parts book, whats that???? thanks in advance.. ------------------------------ Jay, don't go to a parts store unless you're looking for a replacement. Check the yellow pages for "Auto Electric" and see if there isn't a shop in your area. They will be able to refurb the alternator for you. They might sell you brushes, but if not shouldn't charge to much to replace them. _______________________________________________ AMC-List mailing list AMC-List@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list or go to http://www.amc-list.com
