alternator question
hey everyone
As it looks like my alternator may be the source of my problems, I was wondering what people have gone to that have replaced their alternator - some say 10 or 12si? I think the '85 had a 17si - I really did not want to get into modifications to make an alternator fit if I can help it but I did see some nice 140amp units - from Tuff Stuff and powermaster - if those are good brands. No local places seem to have anything in stock or parts to replace - so I think I am stuck ordering regardless
any suggestions or experience with any of these ?
thanks very much

1985 production - p/n 1105585 (120 amp), 1105450 (108 amp), 10479868 (120 amp)
personally, i'd go with a service replacement 120 amp, however, these things are fairly simple to rebuild.
if you want to go with a straight plug and play, try this - http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....041208&jsn=481
after the core return, around $60 from rockauto.
