MCI Bus 24V Detroit S60, Cummins ISM, CAT C12, C13   Part # 8200330 (rotating flange), pitch 6-8 - 11 tooth,  Xref: 71-01-1008, MC2378

Looks like 24v, CW, 11 teeth, 6-8 pitch, 3 bolts and at 30.8 lb, less than half the weight of OEM unit.

Remaining question - New or rebuilt?

thanks, don

New is better always,watch the knocks off 39MT sometime the nose is wrong stay with Delco it will cost a few bucks more,check with Blanchard Electric in WA sometimes they have good sales 1=800-234-2981

Clifford,

Thanks for the tip about fake parts. Blanchard had a fair price but found another reputable outfit offering new OEM units for a real steal. Will see if the real deal shows up. lol
