38-amp alternator

Has anyone confirmed the use of a 38-amp alternator on a 289 (HiPo or otherwise)? If a stamping has survived, it would start with C5DF.

Yeap, Know about these. Seeing if there are others, even on non-HiPo 289s

The pics provided are of a 38A alternator from an A code 289, August '64 scheduled build date car.

Already have this imformation. Trying to see if other alternators can be identified as 38-amp on the 289. I had always thought that the 289 received the 42-amp alternator, but it appears the 38-amp was also used. So, I am trying to collect any more data that verifies this.
