I'll dig out my original and compare fonts. Looks awfully deep and consistent stamping, but at first glance it looks good. Caveat emptor, as all of these things are nowadays -

I've seen a few 'new' housings on Delco alternators (in the parts stores) without any stamps at all.. If someone had the capability to do the stamps correctly, I think they would look exactly like this alternator... (with the small incorrect pulley)..
-
Is the metal between the front and back halfs gold cad plated like the pulley nut? If it is, that might be a clue to it's origin or at least the internal parts.

Looks like a good one to me based on others I have pictures of.

I have dealt with this vendor in the past and never had any reasons to believe, or ever found, he is selling re-stamps.

Same here. If I'm not mistaken that is Chicago Corvette. Graygracy is just their Ebay site. I've always had good luck with them and they seem to know there stuff.
-
Here's mine for comparison. Wouldn't the first for numbers be the same on all alternators?

wrong rear housing? no boss for bracket?

Good eyes ! If it is indeed a complete front and back half, original, it would have the boss and a tapped hole for the support bracket -
Change any opinions ? My opinion is now worse than the perfect stamping caused.

Im not so sure about this one. Awful crisp stamping.. I wont post why I feel this way but I dont like it.
