What type of alternator is this on my 40 Ford.

Joe, we know you love your Ford, and we here on the FordBarn are happy to answer your questions about your Ford, but please, Joe, when on the Barn, keep your hood closed?

Nice looking Ford. Lots of GM alternator info here. And FWIW there are many flatheads running GM alternators and I don't see anyone telling them to keep their hood closed. JMO

Do we really have to debate GM alternators and Chevy 350’s on the FordBarn?

Joe,
I'd never witnessed an alternator that did not have an identification number stamped into the case. With that number, a decent counter person at NAPA can quickly look it up and tell you the EXACY (original) application and the modern equivalent. Now, to find a decent counter person...that may be tough.

Yes, probably will start with this place also, as a backup to Napa or any other auto parts store, as the 10Si shows different amp. ratings, just looking for the same one I have. Does say 10A on the casing also.
