In the 1964 model year, Ramblers were equipped with alternator systems: Americans were equipped with a Motorola Model A-NAM451 alternator and TVR12AM18 voltage regulator (64 American TSM, page 13 and 15 of electrical section) Classics (and possibly Ambassadors: I did not see a different model # for them) were equipped with a Motorola Model A-12AM451 alternator and TVR12AM18 voltage regulator (64 Classic and Ambassador TSM, page 6-7 of electrical section). Starters were indeed Delco-Remy, model 1107317, on both One of the promoted changes on 1964 Ramblers was a move to alternators: in the dealer film strips it is also noted that the "GEN" light in 63 is not an "ALT" light. >> The automatic transmission was crafted by Borg-Warner, and sold under the >> name "Flash-O-Matic."

Oh trust me, I know all too well what a pain in the tukis finding those Wagner brake parts is.
