I called jegs and they want 300$ for a direct fit one. Since we have the "plug" for our alt. not just the 1 battery wire.

Looked around and couldn't find anyother except on ebay..

Anybody know where to get a new or better alt ... or maybe a 1-wire convertion kit?


Help please!

 

You could just go get it fixed... probably a lot cheaper. What's wrong with it exactly?

 

LOL!

Long story.. but i'll just tell ya whats wrong...heh

Threads are pretty messed up, but i got the nut on..

Makes a knocking sound and grinding sound cuz i need to get the nut tighter, but can't cuz the threads. It whines.. louder then the freakin car!

It does charge like normal though.. lol.. for now..

 

Did you try autozone or advance auto parts? I cant remember what i paid but i am sure it wasnt $300

 

check out rockauto.com. I've bought loads of stuff from them for many different vehicles including the wifes 95 Caprice, (Water pump, Altenator, blower motor, front/ rear suspension). never had a problem with them. i lost the altenator at 103,000, the wifes got 199,000 on the Lt1 and she drives it 150 miles a day with one foot full down on either the gas or the brake...

I got a 140 amp direct replacement from Advance for $197.00 with a $60 core charge. So it ended up at $137.00. Give them a try before going with something with a brand name stamped on it and a huge price tag.

 

Around here it is 100 bucks plus 25 for the core.

 

KK, Thanks guys
