I have an alternator on its last leg.
My OEM Toyota part number 27030-56320.
I am seeing a few eBay specials for 25amp replacements, but nothing in the 30-35amp range.
Had it at a shop locally for 6 months who couldn't track down a replacement or a rebuild kit.

Alternator rebuild shop said the rotor had failed.
 
Not too uncommon for them to go open circuit. I have a brand new, unused, in box, OEM Toyota / Denso rotor, part # 27330-56110
Would consider selling if I can get a hold of the second one I sold to a friend. And if you might be interested (can take pics)
 
Let me know. I'm not having much luck finding that part number either.
Are you certain that rotor is for the alternator (27030-56320)?

The alternator part number 27030-56320 was not coming up, but 27020-56320 works

The rotor I have is for alternator part # 27020-56320 (24 volt, 30 amp, external volt regulator).
Alt # 27020-56400 (24 volt, 30 amp, internal volt (IC) regulator. (cold spec)
Both of those alt #'s fit mid to late 80's BJ-70, 71, 73,74 with the 3B or 13B-T engines.
The stator is a different part number as well between the two types. End frames (housings) are same part #

Checked the service manual, rotor specs are:
internal regulator: 8.8 - 9.2 ohm
external regulator: 18.8 - 19.2 ohm



I would need to get $550 CAD for it (plus shipping) to cover what I paid.

My rotor # 27330-56110 (external reg)
Cold Spec rotor 27330-56390 (internal reg)

If you have external volt reg, (non cold spec) then this rotor should be the one.

I just looked at the factory alt tag on my '88 BJ-71 13B-T, and it matches yours 27030-56320
Mine has external regulator. The part number prefixes in the EPC's for complete alternator is 27020, not 27030
 
Mine has the external voltage regulator as well. I just changed it out to a new one in hopes that would solve the problem. So it is probably the correct one.

I just checked the picture of my alternator tag, and it is 27030, but I often see the 27020 on parts catalogues as well.
 
Still on the hunt.

Did you ever solve this? I have a parts source out of Pakistan who has gotten some pretty rare parts, like last year he got an internally regulated alternator for a 13B-T engine.
 
I am still searching. I have a friend of mine looking in Japan as well.

Zubair Safdar +1 (336) 847-9557 he’s a cruiser head. Has a beautiful HZJ77 and lives in north or South Carolina, I forget which. Anyhow, he has family in Pakistan and gets parts for people here. He’s on Facebook and he’s legit and very helpful.
