I have a few of them kicking around. I know what the 3438 171, 3438 172, and 3438 178 applications are, but not these. Thanks for your help.

The '70-'71 book doesn't list specific applications but, generally, the double pulley is for A/C applications and the higher amp units are for cars with more accessories. The 37 and 46-amp units are for strippers. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

I actually still have the 173 alternator and just used it on my '71 GTX (had 8k original miles:-). 9 passenger wagon with: 225 /6, 3 spd manual (column shift), 3.55 open, AC, 11" drums, front sway bar, 14x6 HD wheels with dog dish caps.
