Best place to purchase a new alternator (1 Viewer)

[graham5david]

my alternator on my 69 fj40 died. I have been looking online for a replacement but everything I find is $250. I found some on amazon for half that price but I am not 100% positive that they are correct. Anyways, I figured somebody on here could point me in the right direction of a good replacement.

I don't recall the price, but I know it was less than half that, for an FJ60 alternator, from @orangefj45.

Check with Georg.

At this point it's a good idea to make sure you're actually running a '69 alternator. Are the ears clocked across from one another, or offset to one side (less than 180)?

Either way my alternators are under $100.

sadly I'm out of town right now in LA so I can't post a pic. I think I purchased it from SOR about ten years ago. Since I'm in LA I may just run by SOR today and get another

Save the pulley off the old alt. every rebuilt one I've seen have the smaller pulley, at least on my '75.
