Photo Model 102003 Ser. 5A 6 Couldn't find the model number in any of my manuals. It also has a 5" diameter pulley with fan. I'm guessing it may have been a special duty application because of the large pulley. I would like to find what the output is. Looks like kennethw is the guy with the info on these. Hopefully he drops in. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,867 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,867 | A larger pulley means its gonna spin much slower so Id be more inclined to think it was some previous owners crappy ingenuity... | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 461 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 461 | I can't say with any certainty about your generator, but in the past there were generators called 'low cut-in' generators that had higher output at low armature speed. They were identified as LCI and were used mostly on industrial equipment, taxis, and larger trucks, basically anything that spent a lot of time with low engine speed. That might be what you have. The pulley you have looks like original equipment.

The actual number should read 1102003 as delco always had a 7 digit number except when you get back into the 1930s and they used the old 3 digit with a letter number system. That number is good for an early to mid 1950s buick. The larger pulley was typical of larger Chevy trucks and some older Massey tractors. The generator without the pulley and besides the number on it was actually just a typical generator used on Chevys in the 50s and early 60s with 6 cyl. applications. So what Im saying is you could take that generator and put a different pulley on it and it would work for many applications. Except for the tag of course. Its a 12 volt generator.
Hope this helps.

Ken, yes the number is actually 1102003...typo on my part.
This unit was on a 265 V8 that I pulled out of a '55 6000 series truck. I will be putting the 265 in a pickup truck, should I leave the large pulley on this generator, or change it to a smaller one? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 190 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 190 | NO, you do not want to use that large diameter pulley, you will need a smaller diameter pulley. IM me on this site and we can discuss it more.
Thanks
