Please educate me. The 37 Amp alternator is coded on the build sheet for my Cuda but not the starter. What is the proper part number for a 1970 Hemi 4 speed starter? Also is a 4 speed starter different from a starter for a Hemi automatic? Thanks in advance.



The alternator should be a 50 Amp one, standard on Hemi's. the 37 amp is used for all other cars, Part number for the 37 amp is 3438 172. I think that the Hemi one should be 3438 173, can anyone confirm this?
The starter, 560 is the same for ALL engine sizes, I actually didn't know that the 560 was also used on Hemi's.


As I know all the Hemi E-bodies got PN 3438176, and will have '76' on the Broadcast Sheet under ALT. I believe the 3438172 is basically the same alternator, except 172 has the single groove pulley (for 440-6 cars) vs. the dual-groove pulley on the 176/Hemi version. I think these were all 37A versions, and while the 172s can be bought the 176 version is darn near impossible to find. As I remember 3438178 is also a dual-pulley, but is the 50A version, for use on cars with A/C.
