It should have the numbers 1100900, used on the 350-350, and 454-390 and dated before assembly of your car. I believe up to 6 months before the build date. Early VIN's would have 69 dates.

I think what alternator you need would depend on the options your car has. Does your car have A/C? That will mean a different alternator than a non-A/C car. If memory serves it goes something like this:
350 / 300 hp, no A/C = 1100901 42 Amp
350 / 350 hp, no A/C = 1100900 42 Amp
350 / 370 hp, no A/C = 1100884 61 Amp (A/C not available with this engine)
454 / 390 hp, no A/C = 1100900 42 Amp
All with A/C = 1100884 61 Amp
Obviously, the closer you are to your build date, without going past it, the better.

It's an AC car so I know I need a 1100884. Just wanted to know in what range a normal date would be. I know one built the day before my car was is not logical so that is why I was inquiring about a normal range of dates.

1100884 are fairly elusive alternators--expect to pay from 600-900 dollars and if you find one with close dates--ouch--they did not make a whole bunch of em--good luck

more of the 1100900 were made so the availability should be greater and based upon condition I would imagine quite a bit less--John Pirkle would be a great starting point--very knowledgable and great reputation.

1100900 is tough for some reason, you would have better luck with a 1100901. Price seems to be $300 to $400 for a 901.
Curious, why bother if you are not after the correct alternator? Date won't make any difference if the part is wrong.

You need to figure out where you want to go--just take into consideration even though you aren't going for judging right now--the future is a strange fellow and the value is greater for the closer to original it is or you could make it with the correct parts you saved.

I think the prior month on parts like alternators, water pumps, etc is best.

If one of your goals is to obtain maximum judging points for NCRS, I have an 100881 from a '69 I would sell.
Yes it is too early for your car, but you would/should get partial credit for having the correctly designed back (it also has the diamond heat sink).
I also have another 42 amp alt with this same diamond heat sink back, but most of the numbers are so faded and weirded as to be illegible. (Prime candidate for a restamp maybe.)
