    With a change of bracketry (sp) and wiring change, you can put any alternator of your choice on it. Many a member here have gone the route.

    Cool deal! I saw one kit on ebay after I posted this for $160, didn't know if that was the average price....

    I charge $46 + shipping to make the alternator bracket for the F head 134. You then use any GM alternator you want, usually around $50 for an alternator.

    I made a Mcruff style bracket, works fine. The adjuster bracket was harder to make than the base bracket. Getting the arc just right was a treat.

    I am getting to the party pretty late here. What Make model and Year did you order the Alternator for? FLAPS has trouble looking up anything that they dont have all that info for. Thanks

    If you read the Mad Electrical pages, they tell you what applications to ask for. http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/delcoremy.shtml
