Default Re: Corvette Alternators that go Bad (jfb)

I cant remember how many I have put in my 90. Maybe 15 now.

I went through 3 right when I picked it up.

I modded my motor, and they go faster now. I also broke 2 of em into pieces...

I am going through all the wiring and I am going to beat this thing. Looking at the other posts I think I might go to the Lt1/4 alt.

FYI...page 26 in the August 2002 issue of Corvette Fever has an excellent article on how to rebuild an alternator. Best how to I've seen in a while.

Mine keeps eating the voltage regulator. I have replaced it twice this year.
