Delco Remy Generator - Part 1
Topic: Mechanical Posted:2007-01-05
Printer Friendly:

The 63 Rambler American has a Delco Remy generator. A generator doesn't need a rectifier to convert alternating current to direct current, because the armature is wound so the brushes always get the positive part of the sine wave via the commutator (or negative part for a positive ground system). The armature bearing is a 6203 bearing with an OD of 1.57 inches, ID of 0.67, and a width of 0.47. (40mmX17mmX12mm). This particular one is a 6203RS-C3:

This site is intended as documentation of our experiences in fixing up our 1963 Rambler American. We put up the pictures, resources we run across, and documentation of our experiences, because we wish there was more of this on the web. There are many amateurs out there fixing up their old cars as well, and perhaps sharing our adventures will help. Copyright 2004-2008 FixRambler.com.
