I wanted to show everyone the alternator that Jim Ridge at Dixie restorations did for my '71 Road Runner.

Glad you posted cause I was just going to ask if anyone knew anyone who could restore my factory alternator for my 71' roadrunner lol.
Looks good. What were the costs and did he do a good job with it?

JIm Ridge is an asset to the hobby relating to the restoration of alternators and starters. I have seen Jim's operation and his work and it is top notch.

Streaker, I could be haven a total brain fart, been a long day. But I thought 69 was the last year they used that style of alternator. If not, when was it ? Anyways, it sure looks nice!

Hi Dan, This alternator part# matches my build sheet and is date coded Aug'70 and my car was built Sept'70. Thanks for the compliment. I woukld recommend Dixie to anyone. Here is another angle.

I owe a lot to Jules D. for providing a business model, Joe Arsenault(BeepBeep)for his tech support during Dixie's start-up and all of our first 6 month customers who took the initial leap of faith.
