First-thanks to everyone who helped me out with my brakes-it was the clevis pin adjustment.
now my next issue-i have a 73 super that the PO dropped a 71 engine in.The alternator light is on-First dumb question-how do I tell if the PO put in a generator or alternator?
Second question-how do I check either one? I am fairly good with a voltmeter. I did check the V belt and it looks good.
Thanks again!
an alternator is bigger in the front then where it rest on the stand. the generator is a cylender shaped.
Hope this helps Mario
It's an alternator-is there an easy way to test it?
You can put your voltmeter across the battery w/ening running.
12V = No charging.13.5 to 14.5V = Charging OK
Or, you can take it to an auto parts store that does testing.
