    Hey folks, Can anyone tell me any specific info on my generator - 6 Volt Delco-Remy number 1102701? I've been having problems - presumably with the newer replacement regulator and I want to try to find a proper regulator for this generator but I have no idea what its current output is supposed to be, etc. I've already tried looking in three of the parts catalogs that are on the old Chevy online manuals web site with no luck except that the number is listed as an acceptable for a rebuilt unit.
    thanks in advance for any help.
    Caleb

    Caleb, what year is your truck? My restopack shows the # as 1102710 for my '50 (not sure that that makes a difference). The restopack has a lot of info on the generator and voltage regulator. As for as output, i think it should be 35 amps on a standard, 40-55 on heavy duty. I stand at the ready to be corrected.

    Good info, Tom. Hey Caleb, go to www.stovebolt.com and click on the "Tech Tips" section. They've got some really good info on electrical there including a primer on electrical stuff on a truck. Good luck.

    I appreciate all the info - funny that it's an old Pontiac generator. No surprose - the truck is a '53 but the engine is an early 235 and I'm not sure what it came from. I should try to look up its numbers.
    thanks ya'll

    Ha Kyle, Back in the day they put in parts that would work did not really matter if it was a direct replacement. A lot of the early trucks got what ever the local garage or farm hand for that point could come up with. Like you said works for 10 years that's good enough.
