So I lost my stock alternator that had been reworked,& decided to go with a GM unit. I wanted to keep the charge light & volt meter so a one wire was not for me.
LC directed me to the company that supplies them with one wire units.
So after a little discussion, I was sent a si12 unit with billet cases, 150 amp out put & 100 @ idle.
Had to modify the upper ear to line the pulleys up & had to lengthen the lower rear spacer. Also had to lengthen the upper arm.

Here's a link to all photo's ,unit will go in tomorrow http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb15 ... lternator/" target="_blank" target="_blank
5/16'' had to be removed from the upper ear, the spacer had to be lengthened by the same( new one made), & cut a new arched upper arm & weld to the rest of the stock bracket.
They made a link plug for me to go from the GM unit to the stock plug!
Also went to a 2'' pulley,as I have under drive pulleys!

What does a stock alternator produce?
