Hi there, well that's a shame you have not tried to find the fault with the generator. There may be no problem with the armature and only some other simple fault or even the regulator. As stated in the above posts, alternators are not without there fit up and operating problems. Read Kurts #8 post again. Also most of the delco alternators only have a small front bearing (smaller than the ford generator) which was never designed to carry the weight and load of a heavy metal fan on the pulley. Try harder and fix your original generator. Regards, Kevin.
