Any alternator stamp gurus here ?

20 years ago I bought this for a Yenko Deuce. I sold the car before I used it. Recently needed an alternator for my wagon and I found this again. Does this look like a fake roll stamp ? These are worth a few bucks if they are real but I just dont have the knowledge and not sure if people were even restampimg these back then.

Yes the date codes seem to be correct time period for the Yenko years but I have forgotten the “model” numbers for Chevrolet but 37 amps with external regulator was a Chevrolet as I recall

Yes agree those numbers seem to be uniform. Are the diodes coded?

Havent pulled it apart yet so see if other things are dated. Not that I would know how to read them ?

If they are coded and they might be since you have had it so long just send PM with pictures and we’ll have a go at them

Hey Bob, hope all is well. Post this over at the Yenko site, they are always rendering opinions on 837 stamps - lots of experts there.

I copied your link over there asking for an opinion - we'll see what they say.

The diodes should have a date silk screened on the back and should be visible without taking it appart.
