I hate it when I pay people to make stuff that I have to fix when they are done.

See if there is a speedy sleeve the size you need. If there is, you can clean up the surface and put the sleeve on and be good to go.

+2 Use the acetylene torch.

Yes, I would just pay the core charge and keep my original. It's real easy to swap the parts out of the new one into the original rear case and then you have an isolated ground alternator again. Just pay attention to the insulators and if you change the bearing, support the case so you don't...

The 11 volts you are seeing is battery voltage. Just to be clear, are the reading the voltage from the B+ and B- terminal on the alternator under test? If you are not sure, take it to Napa or Autozone and have them test it. Tell them it's isolated ground and make sure they hook the tester...

Not real fast here either. If there are pictures, forget it.
