Paulie Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Dear Avanti Owners, My garage expert tells me that a bearing is going out in my '70 Avanti alternator (45 amp ?) The engine is a high-performance 350 CU inch Corvette engine that was was rebuilt in '72. Where can I find a a new a new one? Thank you, Best regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 It should be a very available alternator...you should be able to find a replacement at any NAPA dealer, or Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Advance Auto, etc. You can also buy a brand new aftermarket replacement from Summit Racing or Jegs. You can also take it to any auto electrical rebuilder and have it rebuilt with new bearings, etc. I'm a bit surprised your garage guy didn't know this and make a recommendation. GM alternators are not the least bit rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profaqualung Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Gunslinger was right on target - NAPA. I have replaced mine - just went in and requested one from a 69 Vette - turns out it also cross matched to a Chevy pickup from the same year. Who knew ? ? ?
