Re: {Chrysler 300} 19 6300 F Generator hello fellow 300 compatriots Hello fellow, 300 compatriots

[John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi — Just get another used generator in good shape , not rusty  ? commutator does not “go “ but i know if generator  is badly overheated it can toss solder that holds the winding  wires to it . Such an armature is junk . changing a commutator or rewind is a huge job not really  practical in 2025 . And not as good as a stock one just needing cleaning up 

If blackened due to driving after end of brush life or stuck brushes ( sparking etc ) that can be cleaned up . I honestly think if you were told “it needs a commutator” go someplace else .  

All mopar 30- 35 A generators are essentially the same electrical  parts despite obsession with part numbers . The variations involve clocking of end plates and  variations in mounting flanges ( you can use F ends / mount parts )  and pulleys ( 1 or 2 groove) A dodge or plymouth can donate — sometimes you do see replacement 12 v armatures on ebay. 57-61    12 v 

What does go are the brushes , easy to change wear item , ~ 80 k miles, low cost , and sometimes bearings   in the end plates . Brush  springs can rust or brushes can stick in slides . That blackens commutator , can be polished . No need  to undercut just clean out slots between bars with box cutter ( dont slip snd scratch it) 

If AC , it gets harder , more powerful generator 35-40 A are rare . 

At one time i routinely put  alternator in F   , but now such a special valuable  car , keep stock ? Generators worked fine , for 70 k still do !

Genernator are big ( huge!) bucks , weird one off   things — no parts if it punts . Great for Ford model A going to 12 v etc. 

Any non stock thing ( alternator ) involves harness changes will look non stock on firewall too 

just mho

Michael: I'll be the commentator on the comutator which if it cannot be undercut or otherwise cleaned up by an experienced auto-electric rebuilder, must be replaced.

A good rebuilder will have access to the parts you need. 

You can install a Gener-nator. That is an alternator built into a case resembling a generator.  Powermaster has one of these too. Google them up. 

You can install a Chrysler round back alternator too. The club site shows you how. If I was not going to fix and put the generator back, I'd install a round back. The 1960 AMA specification lists one as optional,  so its kosher. Mucho better with AC.

My 19 6300 F needs a commentator apparently the voltage regulator fried It. Anybody know who might have one or can rewind one?

 Michael Alexander in Florida. 

Secondly I have been informed that one can install an alternator inside the original housing of the generator. Anybody have any info on this? it would look original but better power? A/Ccar. It’s in the shop now with a temporary GM commutator being put in it pending sending my original out for rebuild. Any reindeer:rebuilders out there? I would appreciate some help. My terra-cotta prize is sitting and I do love him so .
