If you looking for more amps I bought an upgraded alternator putting 100 amp from a local rebuilder....
What is the output rating for the stock alternator? And is it possibly to swap a "CS" series alternator in the place the stock alternator? I know it is as I did it with my last cutlass just can't remember what I got it off of.
it helped a little bit but I was trying to do it on an 84 Cutlass with a 307 not sbc bu def on the right track. but it did answer the question as to what they came on;1988 Olds Firenza 2.0L engine with EFI and AC; Autozone part number for it is DLG1346-5-11
I have a alt from a 1995 firbird(DLG1400-6-4) at the house it looks as if it would fit in the location of out alternator on a Cutlass and offers 140 amp only prob is that it has a serpentine pulley.

as long as the direction of rotation is the same you should be able to just swap the pulleys.
the cs-130 is a pretty simple swap, unfortunately i don't remember the company, but there is an adaptor plug for them. i think i found it on summit's site when i swapped in my s-belt system.

no i used someone else, but it looks right and they look like gm weatherpak connectors so it'd be good.

Clockwise, same as the engine.

I just bought a cs144 series 140 amp for mine. Used 95 Roadmaster as the application. I bought a used one from the boneyard for a core, I wanted a reman so it's fresh looking. The reman cost me $95 at O'Reilly's. I was able to get the electrical adaptor through Napa. Part #EC82. Just swap your old pulley, plug it in, and go.
Also note, with serpentine belt setups, only the smooth pulleys turn opposite of engine rotation. Any accessory with a ribbed pulley turns the same as the engine. Most, if not all, domestic V8's run clockwise at the crank.
