    Thanks Tom. Little cold up there to be running around outside in PJ's, isn't it?

      Here's the one from a '67 Corvette (Jan-Feb build).

      Thanks for looking into this.

        22 degrees F is not bad for the morning. A "heat wave" is on the way for this weekend!. I just put up the photos, as you can see.

        I'd say this one was black.

          JP got em all done.

            Thanks Tom. Great shot. The stator definitely shows that the center ribs were originally painted black.

            I think more of these are going to show up. I'm now convinced that all 63-67's had the black painted stators.

            I wonder what that 12 mile 67 L88 alternator looks like?? I think I have some pic's here somewhere. Hopefully, one will be a closeup of the alt.

              Michael,
              I think the problem is there are NOT that many people who frequent this board -- then divide those who own 66-67, then those who have unrestored alternators, and your down to a very few people.

              You don't have any interest in my 1967 Chevelle alternator, do you? Sorry I don't have a picture of that. I'm not too anal about that car. I'll probably turn it into a resto-rod anyway.

                It would be interesting to see if the Chevelle stator is painted black. Bet it is.

                  Tom Dingman, and Nick Culkowski could you move out on your alternator photo to show the clocking.

                  It appears the 63-65 cars have the clocking orientation with the stamping aligned with the windows. Mike Hansen '63 and Bill Lacy '67 are orientated like this. I can't tell from Nick Culkowski's nor Tom Dingman's alternators.

                  In the past this board suggests the orientation is 90 degrees from align mentioned above. This contradicts the 63 and 67 photos in this post.

                      Gene,

                      As I understand from previous thread, this is the correct clocking for a 67 base engine:



                      Got dinged one time on this, and then changed it to the above. Other years may be different.

                        Darn you Michael,

                        Now I'm going to have to take my 67 alternator apart again, and paint the stator black like the original.

                        Thought I was correct by the Judging Guide with the caramel color.

                          Yup, that Hanson guy is always here causing trouble, trying to change things. Oh well, good time to check the brushes and bearings.

                          I just found a pic of the famous 12 mile 67 L88 coupe that was taken about 30 years ago. It's not possible to tell for sure but the stator sure appears to be black. Still looking for a current pic of it.

                            Two questions, what valve covers are those on the 67 not factory right and was the stator painted before assembly? what a PIA and time consuming figuring they were being put out by the 1000's.

                              About 10 years ago I had the chance to interview Ralph Johnston,who was the chief electrical engineer for Delco Remy in the 60s and 70s.I had a number of "odd detail" questions I was trying to find answers to.(after the interview he told me we were all nuts for looking for this level of detail)The question of stator color was part of our discussion.I called Delco Remy corporate today and was put in touch with another "old hand". He confirmed my previous findings.The coatings purpose was to prevent rust on the exposed part of the stator.The coating could have been EITHER caramel or black. The greater portion of PRODUCTION was caramel.This applies to all Delco alternators.Service parts had the black applied. All stators had their windings dipped in caramel insulating varnish.Red is a current rebuilders supply item.I currently have to mix my own caramel varnish.There was no difference in stator production from 63 to 67in this regard. My own handling of alternator cores(hundreds of thousands,literally)bears out what the Delco Remy engineers told me.

                                Midyear Corvette alternators are all clocked at the 3 oclock or 90degree position with the exception of the 63 model year,which is at the 12 oclock position.
