Noisy Generator Bearings?
 

Aloha from Maui,
My 1974 Carrera has a clunky sound coming from the fan housing that sounds like some bearings going out. What parts do I need to order to fix it?
The generator is charging fine, and the car is completely bone stock and 100% original.

Mahalo

Also, did you take off the belt to make sure the noise is from the alternator?

And, you can order a rebuilt from Pelican...

Regards,

just pull it out & take to your local rebuilder - will cost about $125 and will be perfect

i have '2' 3.2 units done recently at that price -california prices, no less

Thought mine was alternator bearings only to soon discover cam lobes for cylinders 4 & 5 were running dry. :rolleyes:
