TYVM for your thorough response. It does have the single groove pulley and appropriate part number for that. The car was restored in the early 90's and I think they actually tried to keep everything together. Do you think this would be the original alternator off of my 71 cuda w the 340...

Do you know anything about the pink markings from the factory inspection? If you zoom in on the right hand side you can also see a little yellow to the left of the pink.

Thank you....again!

Is there any way to tell the date the alternator was made?

Is there a name? I used to live there and can possibly track down info. I used to run with some kids in the 80s that had these cars.

Thank you for clearing this up. I'm gonna roll with em on my 71 Cuda even though they aren't 71 wheels. Great description.

Can someone help me decode tese wheels please? ChatGPT has em down for March of 71.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore. There were some Ford speakers in the rear also and the center speaker was a bit rough and needs rebuilding. Rather than spending the $ on the rebuilds, I put in the aftermarket bluetuth Antique Audio unit and new speakers.

Next ?, what type of paint are people using on the transmission when restoring them?

I saw an article written by someone and they excluded the 11" rear drums from the setup that I have, however, his article appears to have been done in general, so it didn't delve into special orders. I'm not sure where the article and research was from and should have bookmarked it. Now, it's...

Got the inside done, now working on the outside. It was restored back in the early 90's by someone and now I'm taking it the rest of the way. Hopefully have it done by Veteran's day.

It was spec'd w a 8 3/4 w 3.55 gears. However, the rear drum brakes were 11" brakes, which appears to verify what you've said, as the setup as per specs calls for 10" drum brakes. That coupled w the fact that the tranny has a date code of January 22, 1971 and a build date of February 9, 1971...

Can anyone help me out on the correct markings for a 71 Cuda with a 4 speed 3.55?

This is what it looks like rn.

Are you serious? Please let me know if you still have the parts, I'd be willing to purchase em from you. Can you DM me w your info, I'd love to chat w you. Thanks Matt
