What is involved when replacing the stop light switch on a 40 Ford besides just unscrewing it. As guessing brake fluid will come out of the master cylinder ? I found a used spare Borg-Warner S193 stop light switch ( has additional casing numbers on the switch, 97265 and 06 in another area ) in...

Says something to the effect 1102430? 61A 6M1 or I-12VNEG Taking it 61 amprege.. Thank You for where to look……for the digits…..

That’s outstanding! I purchased one from Bob Drake couple months ago, a two speed. Similar price.. Thankx for the site..

I seen a partial number of 61A stamped along with other numbers, so guessing they made them in 61 amps. as well as 63 amps? Anyway I’m all set, Thank You

Reporting back as ordered……must be my military days kickin in,….After cleaning all terminals at alternator and the two pins, on side of alternator getting 14+ VDC at alternator after getting RPM 1500+. Seems all is set. Rechecked at battery in the truck, similar voltages. Off to next project...

OK, but 1st I have to put the alternator back in….OK so put positive lead of meter on batt. terminal on back side of alternator and negative lead of meter to a good ground and get RPM up a bit, correct.. I only checked it at idle and at the battery itself ( battery in the trunk ) , reading...

Never tried that, not sure how to do it anyway, I do see the slot you’re talking about. I’m thinking I’ll just keep the world economy moving forward and purchase a new one and be done with it. I believe this alternator itself is pretty old. Off to the next problem….. Thank You for your input…

That’s great info, did not know that raised digits where casting, and recessed digits where ID numbers, generally speaking. That has been logged and noted. Heck I’m still learning at 70+ years old… Thankx Joe

Probably a casting number ( looks like it says 10 A to these ole eyes ) or series number? of some sort, having nothing to do with amprege rating..

Yes, probably will start with this place also, as a backup to Napa or any other auto parts store, as the 10Si shows different amp. ratings, just looking for the same one I have. Does say 10A on the casing also. https://alternatorparts.com/how-to-identify-your-gm-alternator.html Thankx for the...

Shows different amp. rating the 10Si, reason for wanting what I have. I’ll also consider dealing with this place, as they seem more professional grade. https://alternatorparts.com/how-to-identify-your-gm-alternator.html Thank You…

Thank you for the site,….

Yes,..Thank You!,…that’s the info I was looking for. There is a kill switch on the passenger side floor that I religiously turn on/off

Yes! Thankx! That’s the info I was looking for….

I’m wanting to replace my alternator, doesn’t seem to be charging battery, less than 13 volts at idle. Did not check at 2000 RPM. I think it’s a 10 Si but have numbers that possibly say 6ML. What would be a replacement if I went to a auto store, as I want to keep the same type/style. Car...

Being retired military, I do not forget, here is what I wore today,….

I went by this, though I’m slightly more than 1/16”….

Okay, Thank You!

How do you adjust the toe in, spec. call for a 1/16” maximum. I have a good bit more. There is no backup nut, like on modern cars, all I see is two clamps on each side of the tie rod. I get it that needs to be loosened, then what happens, you turn the bar one way or the other? What about the...
