FW: [Chrysler300] Essex alternators on your 300?

["Ed Jasinski" <ed5000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All, 

Not necessarily new news, but FYI:  Leece-Neville supplied O.E. heavy duty
alternators to Chrysler.  We had one in a '62 Plymouth Minnesota Highway
Patrol car back in the day.  HP 361 dual exhaust "post" 2-door.  What a
goer.  Did not in any way resemble the familiar Chrysler alternator however.


Best of Holidays, and Merry Christmas to All,

Hi Wayne and All:
Thanks for the alternator info link. I did note one error----The 
alternators with the greater number of fins were used first in the 1962
model year, not 
1963. 
As far as the alternator manufacturer is concerned, I will not contest the 
assertion that Essex made some/or all. I am sure the author of the article 
has done far more research than I. However, let it be known that in the AMA 
specification questionaire descriptions, information provided by Chrysler in

the "Make" space ALWAYS says either "Chrysler" or "Own". There is never any 
mention of Essex. This is in direct contrast to the Battery "Make" where
both 
Willard and Autolite are mentioned and Coil, were both Essex and Autolite
are 
indicated. Distributor as well---always VERY specific about the component 
"Make" or manufacturer. Certainly makes me wonder. I had always been under 
the impression the alternator was a Chrysler product, but, without a drawing

or other reference, have no proof. Anyone else want to comment?
300ly, Gil Cunningham
A beautiful day in Tallahassee.

Do you have an Essex alternator on your '60-63 Chrysler product?
Okay, trick question since I'm an old Hudson-Essex-Terraplane guy and this 
has absolutely nothing to do with Essex automobiles but I'll bet it is 
something you did not know, would be interested to know, and there is even
date code 
information for the Chrysler manufactured alternators in the article for you

judging types! The answer is YES, YOU DO!

And another trick question: Did the 300F have an alternator? No, and yes. 
No on the 375HP standard production engine and yes on the 400HP optional 
engine.
