Title: 1959 Cadillac 45 amp Generator for A/C cars
Post by: Jeff Wilk on April 05, 2012, 10:16:28 PM
Anybody out there with a correct generator for sale for my 1959 Cadillac with air conditioning?  It is the 45 amp version that accepts the cooling elbow on the back.  Not the non-A/C generator that is 35 amps.  I have the cooling elbow but the wrong generator that is not working well.

Any leads, sources, or............?


Thanks.

Jeff

I may have one off my 59 I changed as it was a non AC car. Will check this weekend.

Still looking.......none of the leads have worked out so far......anybody out there with a 45 amp generator for the air conditioned 1959 Cadillac.....the version that holds the cooling elbow on the back????  Anybody?    Even a core?

Send me a pm or email to jawemail@aol.com if you can assist......re-builders are also asking for the ID#'s off the tag before they will accept one as a core.....never ran into that before.......Thanks all.

Jeff,
I have the Generator off of my Fleetwood, but I suspect that it is also the wrong one. I can't find any markings or tags other than 12v on the body and F,A next to the posts.  I do not see any part numbers on the end frame.
I tried my cooling elbow on it, it fits, but it is just sitting there.  My cooling elbow was in the trunk when I got my car, and the A/C compressor was gone, so it is possible I have the 35 Amp one as well.
Any pics of what you need?
