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. ## Features - Country of Origin: United States - Package quantity: 1 - Product type: Auto_Part - Package dimensions: 23.114 cmsLx19.558 cmsWx20.32 cmsH - Fast Shipping ## Images ![Powermaster 17078 Chrome Alternator Ford 1G [ext. regulated] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71i1Ui6livL.jpg) ![Powermaster 17078 Chrome Alternator Ford 1G [ext. regulated] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Qj2FV5U+L.jpg) ![Powermaster 17078 Chrome Alternator Ford 1G [ext. regulated] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41bQ1ogtv7L.jpg) ![Powermaster 17078 Chrome Alternator Ford 1G [ext. regulated] - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nQKJrySEL.jpg) ![Powermaster 17078 Chrome Alternator Ford 1G [ext. regulated] - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51A6EstYQmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OG 1967 Ford 352 *by G***O on November 14, 2025* When modding an OG 1967 Ford 352 its hard to describe fit.
