I had my generator rebuilt 3 months ago and it works great.  I went to a
local auto electrical rebuilder and got it back in 2 days.  It cost $75.00.
This guy told me that he is doing about 10 a month for a man who only deals
in model T's.

Take it to NAPA.  If it's an alternator, he probably has it in stock.  If it
is a generator, he can tell you, and you'll probably need to take it to a
generator shop.  They often can rebuild them.

> I let a friend borrow my 49 Chebby 3600 with a later-model 235 to use for
a few weeks and the alternator/generator seems to have given up the ghost.
My question is this: is this thing equipped with an alternator or a
generator, and are they easy to find? It's 12 volt, and I have had zero time
to go over there and look at the truck. What is the difference between an
alternator and a generator? Is there one? Will I be able to go to Napa and
get a new one or will I have to order it from a place like Chevy Duty?
Thanks for your help.
