I wish I had the patience of Hank to document as I go, I am just too stubborn and want to get to the finished product.
Anywho, Looks like this generator had a fire, I cleaned a lot of black carbon soot off the front end and pulley. The Armature is beyond toast, no Rewinding this one, replaced with new coils, new armature.
I have new tags and rivets on order to complete the job.
Carb Rochester 4GC I got off Ebay for $25 is all torn down and I have the body sent out to get re-Anodized, should have that back by next week and get that back together. Local Corvette and Classic shop going to get me a set of tags for the carb. Once I have it running, I will take it to them to dial it in.
Tomorrow is finish up on the suspension prep for assembly on the frame, and steering components.
