looking for alternator rebuild shop that does 1963 3.8L XKE in Mich
Where in Michigan? Adema Electric in Coopersville is an option, you would need to check with them about the specific alternator you are looking at. Also depends on the extent of the ārebuildā, of courseā¦

Go to Hans Auto Electric on Grand River in Novi. He rebuilt mine last year. Heās been around forever. Has 28 reviews on Google with a average of 5 stars.
Sorry to be pedantic but does your '63 have an alternator, E Types had a generator till '65. Doubt it makes any difference with regards to your question.
Cheers,

You are right it is a generator. From what Iām seeing the terms seem to have become interchangeable. Thanks
Hi Bob,
Not really, at least to me, if you want to have an alternator that looks like a Generator then you may want to research the ādynatorā or similar. I put an alternator on my 64 that looks like a generator and it was made for an AH 300 and it was about that much cheaper as well.
Good luck,
Cheers,
Lynn

Hadnāt heard of dynator. sorry about my lack of knowledge, but what is an AH 300? What is the advantage of alternator vs generator? Thanks Lynn
Bob
I believe Lynn was referencing an Austin Healey 3000.
A dynator is an alternator that looks like a generator: advantages are less dropping of voltage at idle, and no hi-current through the brushes. They may also use sealed bearings, unlike the bushes used in older generators.
