I am having a correct ROUND TAB alternator rebuilt/restored at my local auto electric shop.
The owner took alot of interest in this project and will not only rebuild it but will do anything needed to make it correct.
He has PLENTY of ROUND TAB alternators in his core bin and was surprised when I told him THEY were a little hard to come by.
I am going to buy a new fan and the correct '65 HIPO pulley and have him install them.
What I need to know is what color the Stater should be--the part that shows through at the center of the case-(this is the stater, isn't it?)in the parts books I have it looks like a shade of gold?? also,do the '65 HIPO 289 alternators have the ORANGE ink stamp as the later cars do? Thanks!
