Re: [Chrysler300] Essex alternators on your 300?

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

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.
