Genuine Pontiac Firebird Alternator Brush

The Firebird Alternator Brush keeps charging power flowing by maintaining a live electrical connection between the spinning rotor and the rest of the alternator. Located at the back of the cast aluminum case adjacent to the diodes and regulator, each Alternator Brush is a small spring-loaded block of carbon that presses against the rotor's slip rings to supply field current as the belt drives the shaft. A healthy unit directly protects the battery from low voltage by feeding that field. The alternator builds the magnetic force which is DC electricity after the rectifier has taken care of its raw AC output. Early Pontiac models applied brushes together with stand-alone or internal regulators. Later Pontiac Firebird models permitted the vehicle computer to control voltage. Nevertheless, the basic carbon-spring form and self-adjusting pressure of the Alternator Brush have not changed, nor have the electrical properties. The changes have been in length and terminal configuration to fit specific housings. Though replacing a fatigued Alternator Brush may seem like an impossibly major task, it's actually quite an easy and affordable job compared to installing a new unit. Wear on the Alternator Brush shortens it beyond its service limit. One simple replacement of a fatigued Alternator Brush restores the steady contact. You can put this easy job in the realm of anyone that wishes to maintain a classic or modern Pontiac Firebird for great sparking.
