Halverson mentions 321- 368 for a 120 AMP, I see a '92 - '93 is 124 AMP 321-552 and a '93 - '96 140 AMP is a 321-1112. I'd maybe see which your local has and compare the clocking and remember you might need to swap pulley. Do you still have your old core? I like the idea of a used if it were an original and not someone's reman. Notice on the CF thread the mention of a rear brace. The connector swap and you would be in business I think. Study and let us know!!

I've never done it personally on an '85 but I've done many changes through the years SI to CS and most were without issue. I'll try to check the clocking like I mention. The brace to the exhaust I'm unsure of but I'll check. An alternator brace/bracket is a simple fabrication in almost every situation. The CS144 is very reliable BUT you need to consider yours is likely coming off of a mass retailers shelf. That's why I mentioned used and look for an OE/GM. The warranty is "lifetime" anyway so it's only installation aggravation.
