Dave,

My original '71 LS6 with trim tag date of Apr 20 has an alternator date of 1A8 for January 8th 1971.

...the BlackBook shows a "1100543" alternator and an "1100544"(all with A/C alternator)for 454ci engines.

Date codes run like this "1 D 19 " = 1971-April-19th. Your date would be prior to this build date.

Thanks guys,

I sure wish I would have kept my original alternator when it went bad in 1976. I'm sure I'll have a hard time trying to find a 1100544 alternator with a build date prior to 1D19.

I was in the same boat a couple of years ago. Looking for an early dated 544. I was told forget about it, your never going to find one.....but I did. I placed an ad in the NCRS Driveline looking for one and I got a call from a real nice guy out in Washington State. He thought he had one with a good date for my car back in his garage.....long story short it had a March date which was perfect for my April build date and it only cost me $50...don't ask what I paid to have it restored

.....so don't give up, anything is possible.
