mine looks like it the same as blown71x but chrome,
its 140 amp 1 wire,
it cost 275.00 at valley alt. in canoga park ca.
they had to build it,
14 volts at idle with my both my fans on and fuel pump and msd.

c'mon, guys, I'm trying to get somewhere here, just the facts...

I went to pep boys, found an alt for a 95 impala, cs130, with a serpentine pulley, the bolt holes are 12/6 o'clock (180°, opposed) that looks like it will fit.

The stock alternator has a bolt to bolt distance around 6.5", this one is 7.25". The spacer I should need up top is 3", as stated above. I should be able to rotate the bottom braket down a little and still have some adjustment for tightening...

Now, I need to find a connector for it, the connector on the alt is square, 1 larger connector and 3 smaller ones

blown, is this plug similar to what you have? where did you get the connector? thanks again.

you wont find my alt. at pep boys.

I gave you the name and city of the place that has them,
tell them you want a 1 wire gm alt for a jenson car

the connector your looking for can usually be found in the help section as a repair part. there are millions of the cs alternators running around. if the pepboys your going to doesn't have it then go to an autozone.

I don’t remember right off hand why the Chrysler alt will never match the output of a GM style at idle but it has to do with the design of the system.

We covered that 20 years ago in class.

As mentioned above, The pigtails are available at any of the dime store auto parts places.


Rick

if you have a 1 wire you dont need a pigtail

i looked at advanced autos web site, and for 89 caddy i didnt see a 5.0, but it looks like any other GM CS series alt, an according to them is a 120 amp, and the price starts at about 95 bucks online, can the cs series be clocked??

Look again

1989 caddy Fleetwood brougham 5.0

Advance part number:P79223

k ill look, looked at all but that one, but i assume they use the same alt

I googled that part number, here's some more stock applications to ask for, and a link to a checy site that also shows the retrofit for older chvy's:

Are there any size differences between the CS130 and the CS144?



CS series wiring pin-out:

S = Heavy gauge wire to the battery supply (loop to output post on rear of alternator).
F = not used.
L = Small gauge wire that comes from the idiot light and energizes the alternator.
P = not used.

AC Delco sells a SI-to-CS adapter pigtail or you'll need to purchase a new end for the CS alternator. I got mine from the local salvage yard for $2.50. If you go the conversion pigtail route, be aware that there are TWO TYPES, a non-resistor model for use WITH the idiot light, and a resistor model for use WITHOUT the idiot light.

Non-resistor adapters: use WITH idiot light
- AC Delco: 8077
- Haywire: 2110
- Painless Wiring: 30707

Resistor adapters: use WITHOUT idiot light
- AC Delco: 8078

this is good stuff, I'm thinking about going with the cs-144, looks like it has the same dimensions, the 140a version has 40 amps at 1600 or so rpm. Pics to follow.

Maybe this should be in the tech archives?

Isnt that 40 amps at 1600 alt rpms, not crank rpm's? Basically 40 amps at 500 or so crank rpms assuming a 3 to 1 pulley ratio?

Sweet. That is great info!!!

I too am interested in the CS144. I do see where someplaces list as having a bigger case than the CS130, about 14 mm bigger. But I see in your link it says the CS--- numbers refer to the size of the stator. I wonder if a bigger stator means a bigger case and if so if 14mms will matter?
