In the process of getting my 1988 Cutlass Supreme Classic in good enough shape to pass PA Enhanced Salvage Inspection. Just had the engine replaced, was running great after for a couple weeks but am now having some issues indicative of alternator trouble. Radio and headlights cutting out, back on when I accelerate, accelerating sluggishly when initially driving, etc.
As it has 91k on it and the battery and alternator passed the mechanics voltage check Im hoping the brushes are just a bit worn out, either way about time to replace them. Think I'm good on the how of replacing them with the resources online but unclear on which ones to buy. Only indicator of model Im seeing is Delco A 13 stamped on the side but this isn't returning much via google.
Is there a more specific model designation I'm missing somewhere on the alternator? Should I replace the bearings as well or will giving them a good cleaning be sufficient?
