Chased an Electrical Short to the internals of my Generator. Putting a spare on the car and then taking the failed unit apart. Any common suspects here? Thanks as always, Al W.

It's Wise to choose a six!

Shorted armature or field coils are most common. Would check field coils first.

How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

Thanks Chipper. I'm preparing a spare to put on. I imagine that will be a DOA for that Generator. It sure does pay to save spare stuff! Al W.
