QUOTE(Elliot Cannon @ Sep 18 2012, 09:12 AM)  During the Atomic Ramble in Albequerque I watched Mark b do it in the parking lot. Kind of a pain but not that hard. Yup. Mark b did the whole R/R alone on the ground in about 1 hour. |

What specifications should I be looking for in a new alternator. Were should I buy one with those specs?
What about the cooling connections that were on the original units? What about Alternators from sources like advance auto parts, the "offer" them but the look different than the two I have already. The connections on the back are not the same for example... Advance Auto Parts Alternator |

Where do you all buy your Alternators? AA, Pelican Parts, somewhere else? I saw a tempting one at Advanced Auto for $60. But knowing how hard it is to replace this when the engine is in I don't want to mess around, and I want one that charges great!
Input is appreciated. QUOTE(Steve73 @ Nov 26 2013, 08:41 PM) What specifications should I be looking for in a new alternator. Were should I buy one with those specs?

Looks like Advance only has a 90 day warranty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Do you have an AutoZone near you? $50 with a LIFETIME warranty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... Click here |

long ago, pre world, there was an issue with replacement alts and the rear cover that came on them. switching the rear plate required some 'dimpling' out, as the longer posts on the rear made contact and blew up the diodes.
