One question Scott, in '70, the adjustment strap was curved in '70 on HEMI applications? I thought all years had the straight adjustment strap...
all OEM 69-71 hemi uses a straight adjustment bracket.

No problem Jim  On the chromate finish, I have also seen a pretty fair degree of variability on NOS units I've seen. One question though, I notice that the housing bolts on the Hemi unit are plated silver/gold, and on the other example showed above the same bolts are black. Is there some protocol as to which alternators got which?

I've only seen straight adjustment brackets on HEMI applications, B/E body, the 1970 HEMICUDA I'm working on right now rebuilding the engine, (all original, been sitting for close to 30 yrs/original owner) has a straight adjusting strap

You mention that the original coating process did not weather well. Is your coating more durable, and will it last longer than original? Thanks... and GREAT WORK!!!!

I can add to that....If you wish to help preserve the chromate coating you can apply some of ECS's metal treatments to the freshly dipped surfaces, it will further seal the new surface from the harmful oxidation process. I like the AMMO product they sell, it wipes on with no heat, sort of like a very soft gel/wax. Allow it to dry and buff it off and it's 100% invisible.
Buy AMMO here
What about the RPM stuff that is similar?

RPM is a heavier duty product and would also work, however their recommended application method is to apply it to a heated/warmed part (160 degrees F or so) and I don't like to apply heat to delicate dipped or plated parts. The Ammo is a thinner product and wiping away remaining residue in small recesses on complex shaped parts (like and alternator case) is easier, Q-tips are handy in this job.
Good info..sounds easier to work with..
