Built for street performance, restoration, and upgraded charging-system applications, this Cylindrical style alternator combines 55 A charging output, a V-belt pulley configuration, and a chrome finish for dependable electrical support in properly matched vehicles.

Charging Output & System Support
The 55 A amperage rating helps support electric fans, lighting, ignition components, fuel pumps, audio equipment, and additional electrical accessories. The 12 VDC rating keeps it aligned with common automotive charging-system requirements. The Cylindrical case family provides the charging-system layout used for compatible brackets, wiring, and mounting geometry. This makes it useful for street-driven builds, restorations, and upgraded accessory systems.

Pulley & Belt Alignment
The V-belt pulley setup is intended to match the selected accessory drive arrangement. Verify belt type, pulley offset, and bracket position before installation.

Case Construction & Cooling
The aluminum case uses a chrome finish with a 14.140 in. case circumference to balance durability, serviceability, and underhood presentation. The external fan design helps support heat management during accessory load and engine-bay operation. External fan included: No.
