Alternator problems
Anyone know if there is a rebuild kit you could purchase to repair a fried alternator. I remember someone sold a kit of some kind the had super heavy parts but I can't seem to remember who it was. Thanks!

That pic can't be in NJ this year unless you are in the North-West section! And even then only 1 day!
You didn't say the year, the wheels on your can look to be 88 or 89, but can't quite tell may be 90.
I guess you have the CS-130 alternator. There is a guy in Michigan selling the "Iceburg" kit, but think you need special tools to get a CS-130 apart, maybe not. But he sells a brand new one for about $100.00. If I guessed all this right let me know and I'll try and find the link.
If you are around north central NJ I can give you the name of the guy that rebuilt my alternator this summer. Also have a buddy up near Rockaway that found a good shop to rebuild the alternator in the boat I gave to his nephew-in-law.

PeteL,
Yup, I have an 88. So I guess that means I have the dreaded CS-130. I would really appreciate the link to the ICEBURG kit if you can find it.
That pic of my car was taken last year. So far the winter season here in NJ has been very mild, thank GOD.

Re: Alternator problems (M2001)
I too had the dread C-130. I had heard that the Iceburg kit was a good alternative. Mine only lasted about a month :sad: Perhaps I did not put it together well.
Anyway, I bought a wonderful replacement from PowerMaster, it has been in for a year now. No more alternator worries :yesnod:
