## Overview

The Powermaster 17078 Chrome Alternator is an externally regulated, heavy-duty alternator designed for Ford 1G engines, featuring a chrome finish for a retro OEM look. Made in the USA, it offers reliable voltage regulation and durability, fitting stock configurations like the 1967 Ford 352. Note: Chrome pulleys may require belt adjustments to prevent slippage and overheating.

## Description

Externally Regulated. Heavy Duty Rectifier. Early OEM/Retro Look. Proof Of Performance Tag.

Review: OG 1967 Ford 352 - When modding an OG 1967 Ford 352 its hard to describe fit. It fits stock. It worked better, for those who care, with a High Volume water pump. Way more clearance from the block.
Review: Chrome pulley overheats due to not gripping Vbelt - I have 80 Bronco with a 351M. I bought this to swap out the old tired 1G alternator. Upon swap, the belt squeaked and I used a thermometer to determine the alternator pulling was reaching 150 degrees Fahrenheit within a minute or two, however, the alternator body stayed in the 110 to 130 range after running for 5-10 minutes. After adjusting the belt to ensure it wasn’t too loose or to tight, checking I was using the right belt, etc. I finally realized the alternator pulley was not providing enough grip for the V belt causing slippage which leads to overheating. I swapped out the old 2V alternator pulley onto this one and the pulley no longer overheats. BEWARE while chrome plated pulleys look clean they DO NOT provide enough grip/friction to hold the V belt in place causing slippage and overheating which lead to me spending a few hours diagnosing the issue I didn’t plan on spending to finally figure this issue out. I can’t speak to the durability of the alternator as I haven’t driven the car yet.
