I know....I found those this morning that use a CS144 case. The lower amp alternators have better idle amperage then dominator series. They actually make a 1 groove pulley for later GM vehicles 84 -88 or something like that, I just overlooked it the first time. It has the same plug as my alternator so no wirering or anything like that, just the big 3.

What brand is the 0/1 amp kit?

Alright man, thanks. =]

I found the pin out for the CS144 alternator. Only two of the four wires are used, or thats at least what I found. S = Heavy gauge wire to the battery supply (loop back to post on back of alternator). F = not used. L = Small gauge wire that comes from the idiot light and energizes the alternator. P = not used. Where would the idiot light be that I'm going to use? thats the only thing I haven't found yet...

So once I get a stock CS144, just swap the pulleys between it and my stock oldmobile alternator? Also, I can't find the adapter plug your talking about...if you could help me find one it would be greatly appreciated. This is what im looking for, correct? 91 Deville stock alternator. http://www.partsamerica.com/productdetail....=11&PTSet=A

The engine is the 4.1 lt 260 V8. Smallest V8 Oldsmobile made, but the stock CS144 out of a Deville if I say go pick one up at auto zone or something, will it require a pulley change? EDIT: Found this, will that work? doesn't list amperage at idle. http://www.alternatorparts.com/CS-144_Special_offer.htm Or this? 155 amps at idle. http://www.wagglepop.com/stores/Qualitypow...65850&data=

Hello everyone. First post here. I'm going to be starting my build soon for my car. I've been looking for a high output alternator for some time now, but have failed in finding one for my year model (82 cutlass supreme brougham). I won't be needing an outrageously huge alternator, but one to help with voltage, because my stock 63 amp alternator just doesn't cut it. The system will consist of two FI BL 12's on a Hifonics brutus 2600D. Then 2 high end amps for components. The only other option I've found to get one is go to a junk yard to find an old Cadillac alternator, year model from 80 to 85 which come stock about 100 amps, and take it to a local guy in my town to get him to build it up to about 220 amps. A local car audio shop told me that an older Cadillac alternator will bolt right into my car. Also suggestions on batteries. I'll need something that will have side mounts, and top posts. Optima yellow tops are the only batteries I've seen that have both top posts and side mounts. Any help would be appreciated.
