Mike,

It sure looks like one to me (minus the Lestek nameplate...where the 2 rivots are). Here is a pic from one of the Mustang books, my alt is buried out in storage:

I guess it's off to the rebuilder to see what he can do.

Thanks!

As a point of note. I looked in my GM alternator pile. A mid 60's 61 amp GM alternator has the same case and will bolt up and work in place of the Lestek. Not near the amperage output however there are kits out there to upgrade the old externally regulated GM alternators to high amp units. That would be a great alternative if you need a Lestek and cannot find one.

Disregard my last post.

I just returned from the garage and an early GM Delco WILL NOT bolt up to the car and replace the Lestek. Almost but not quite.

The lower mount where the big bolt hole goes through the bottom mount is larger AND the mount itself is cast about 1/4 inch lower.

Sorry for the mis-information. It sounded good until I actually tried it!

The Lestek is unique!

You are certainly welcome.

Is the bracket the same as on a stock 5.0?
