You ever thought of a one wire alternator?? I bought this and it was simple to hook up and cpmes with a one year warranty...He also has the resistor if you wanted to go with the traditional 2 wire setup...http://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-140-amp-1-wi ... es&vxp=mtr

Funny, I bought one of those in two wire form from Bill on Ebay. He's getting it back tomorrow as the first one didn't work worth a damn. I'll report if #2 is any better......

Please do, I've had my one wire on for about a month now and it works like a charm... 8)

cs130 = 105 amps
cs144 = 140amps

Ok guys my bracket is not lining up with the alternators bolt, and it way off with the stock bracket.. is there something im doing wrong? Is this alt set up only for driver side one belt pulley set up? Are they universal? Please chime in and post pics.. What am i doing wrong? It looks like the alt sit low and do i need a different bracket?

See how its way off...

Used old tube bracket to slide long bolt in:

Even used a chrome bracket i had.. And nothing:

Looks like you have the wrong alternator. I believe you need one where the ears are at 12 O'clock and 6 O'clock.

How many style cs130 are there? I took this off a 92 chevy pick up 5.7L and the alt was on the driver side, when i went to autozone we looked up a Caprice and the 92 pick up and was same alternator... Us the stamped number on alt let me know that it was a cs130 105 amp alternator...just confused...
