Been looking for an 814 alternator and found this one.
Do the stampings look good on this?
Does this look like a real deal or a good restamp?
-
No expert here but nice restamp to me.
-
Tough to tell. The only detraction to me is the different stamp depths, but otherwise I would use it. Creeping 814's are worse than 837's to find -

I too am no expert. But if I had to guess I would say no go. It should have MORE depth difference in stamp. If I remember correctly they ROLL the stamp on. So it is supposed to be inconsistent in depth. But always fun to learn. I wonder why there is pretty significant casting damage on the other side of the center? Danny

Here's a genuine 814 I sold recently. Look carefully at the sityle and spacing of the digits in '1100814'.
-
Is there a larger photo of the stamp?
EDIT:
Was able to blow it up enough. Restamp.
-
I agree with Darrel but it is good. If right price and date I would use it.
-
Thanks
I figured it was a restamp.
The date code is right for mine.
What's a fair value to pay for it? Seller is asking 850 for it

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt....
Knock the zero off..

I saw that alternator on ebay because I ws cleaning my 1100814 and saw a crack so I went hunting.hell yes $850 is to much but supply and demand.....................
-
If the ebay seller is in TN or Angola IN, and has plenty of other items that "have been in storage 40 years", then I would suggest best avoided.
-
Careful, Tim - us Tennessee boys stick together - ask Cook. I do know who you are referring to, though - lol.
I'd say it's a dang good restamp if it is one - the depth, font and spacing mirror the original that was sold earlier.
I'd have no problem using it, but would prefer some kind of documentation for that wad of pesos -

Have another close look.

Looks just like an orginal 68 442 Alt that I have.
Notice the deformed 1 missing the tail.
-
Looking at BOTH of my cars and some other pic's.... It looks like the 4 is to close to the one? Danny

I had the same thought about the 1-4 spacing but I'm not an expert either.
-
Also noticed on the OP alternator picture no - (dash) after the date.
The stated originals have a - (dash).
Did they all originally have the dash?

I should have put them side by side - there are some differences, but the similarities in the varying depths of the 1100814 stamping are danged close. Different fonts could be because of the date gap; I'm not trying to legitimize it, but it's pretty good at first glance. Still, a lot of money for an unknown without documentation.

The 4 at minimum is a bad character on the above alternator, the 1 stamp and the 4 stamp would have to have their margin spacing milled off to ZERO, they without doubt touch if not overlap. NO GO.
-
sorry to break in but is there a product out there to bring the finish back to the new look?
