MSD Alternator

Anyone use the MSD alternator on an LT1? Sounds like it will work, but wanted to confirm before buying.

Re: MSD Alternator

Yeah, I assume it would work as they say...


"it also delivers a new universal mounting design called Slide-Loc. This technology allows one unit to be mounted to a variety of engines by selecting a bracket kit. (For speedshops, this feature means that you only need to stock one alternator!) The bracket installation kits are available separately for a growing number of different applications."

but I don't want to order it and find out it doesn't work...so has anyone had any experience with one of these on an LT w/ factory mounting position?

Re: MSD Alternator

Seems cool, but it is $300 for the alternator alone, plus the brackets. Definetly something different though.

Re: MSD Alternator

why not just get a normal one for fraction of a cost and lifetime warranty from disc auto parts?

Because this one looks pretty and you can run any valve cover you want. It seems to be smaller than the TPI one even.

exactly right . Although I have already went through the trouble of getting some RFR custom valve covers, so any alt. wil work. This one looks bad *** though.
