Hi guys,
please correct me if this is improperly posted. I have nearly finished restoring a 1952 Seabird with the ChrisCraft Junior 4. The engine runs like a top, but there has been some Tom Foolery in that a badly-fitting Delco alternator has been bodged into the boat, as well as an incorrect starter that also came in the boat that I have had rebuilt. I don't know what is the best 12v alternator to replace this one (which is too large and required previous owner to drill new mounting holes (badly). The original alternator had 5 5/8" mounting hole spacing, but which alternator? Also, there is an oil line to the stuffing box with a reservoir in the engine bay that holds about a pint of oil. Not sure about that, as I cannot find any stuffing box details for this boat.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers!
Ron
