Need a 1974 tii OEM Alternator

Thank you but I have a crusty one that needs rebuilding.  I have been trying to find someone who can rebuild mine but to no avail.  I am hoping to find a functional one.

Alternator shops are a dying breed and Bosch quit. There’s a shop here in SoCal...

You may need an electric or pneumatic impact gun to remove the large nut holding the pulley/fan on.  Make sure you also have a good screwdriver for loosening the long screws holding the halves together so the slots don't get stripped if they were put on extremely tight. Using the front section from your original alternator will prevent you from having to make a large bushing or stack washers when it is mounted.

Thanks, I do have big lights but they are LED.  Still I need all of the whopping 45 amps!  I also run an Optima Yellow Top which helps.  Don’t know how I did it back in the day with a regular battery, big lights, amplifiers and a/c.  Somehow I got lucky and it worked.  Ah, to be young again!

They didn’t run all that stuff back in the day is how...

Oh I surely did.  Very big amplifiers and lights, much to my parent’s dismay.  I probably should have had a generator in the trunk!  There was no way to listen to the Eagles and my other  favorite bands at less that “900db” as my mother called it.  I merely explained to her that I was “taking it to the limit”!  At least I always used very large and pure wire.  Not that it did much to help.  I think the key to it was that I was always driving so fast that the alternator was putting out the full 35 amps.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
