Not sure about his date code interpretation. He says April 7th, 1971, which would be 1D7. But to me, it looks more like I("eye")07. What do you guys see?

First, it's a 1100927, not a 1100928. I think the 928 is correct for the '71 37 amp Firebird Alternator. It may be for the GTO.

Secondly, Pontiac didn't use the letter "I" for stamped letters because it could be mistaken for the number 1. They only used the letter "I" when it was cast. September was a stamped "J"

Most of you guys have been at this longer than me, but., it's been my experience that alternators are date coded using 4 alpha-digit type stamps. This one only has 3. Example, if you are looking for a 1100928 for August 15th, 1970...it would be stamped...0H15. Or even for September 7th, 1971, it should be 1J07.

See my point. I don't recognize or trust the 3 digit thing.
