VR Position on FJ60 Alternators (1 Viewer)

[Trapper50cal]

I've looked at 7 or 8 threads, I can't find confirmation.

It looks like I'll be needing a new alternator and I would like to buy the right one (from RockAuto) for my 1987 fj60

Is the clock position of the Voltage Regulator (external) identified by looking at it from the front (pulley side) or the back (wire side)?

IOW, do I need a 2 o'clock VR position or a 10 o'clock position VR Alternator?

55amp?

Rock Auto also has an ACDelco - "50amp Green Plug" what's that all about?

27700-38100-84 is the VR for this alt. Green plug on the Yota alt is the two prong connector on back.

Just ordered and its a perfect match for Marley.

So, are we (late fj60's with external VR) 10 o'clock alts or 2 o'clock alts?

(Thanks BTW, J)

Here's pics of mine J.. I may be wrong but I'd call it 2 o'clock position.

That's what I have, except the lock clip on the top of my wire side connector is broken off....

Whats the AC Delco price and does it come with the pulley? I'm just a Yota snob ya know.

Ok J, because I'm curious now. I looked back through other threads and if RockAuto pic is of what they are actually selling... We have the 2 o'clock version per what Jim C posted up in this thread, post #8. Looks like he took the pics from RockAuto pages

yeah, agreed. But I never got specific confirmation. Looking back on my own pic in that thread...it's not the wire side retainer clip that's broke, it's the little tooth
on the alt side of the connector...

Or a local auto electrical rebuild. The parts store rebuilds are a crap shoot at best and a $53 alternator is a $53 alternator.

How much does Cruiserdan want for a reman? In my experience Toyota is generally reasonable about electrical rebuild parts.

Not sure if this is what you mean Spike, but my Reman Denso's were available and purchased on 3/1/13.

Dunno - was just reading the RED print in the Denso link... Maybe you're getting the last of the stock?

That's what I'll be ordering tomorrow if they still have any.

Ordered the alt today....

I have a relatively new VR from Beno (OEM toyota) so I'm hoping that will cross over just fine.

Ok I was going to say that there was a very recent post that someone was able to purchase a new reman from Toyota for about $75. I have the part number in my Evernote list and was seriously debating on just grabbing a whole new alt vs. just buying the pulley (mine is some crappy small belt version). The pulley buy itself is like $20ish so that is why I am debating, then at least I would have a back up if needed?!
