just go to a auto electric shop....They 'should' be able to find you a rewound alt to fit your stock brackets, in as much amperage as you require (to an extent). Some of the better auto electric shops can find you an alt from a cop car or limo, etc...vehicles that require LOTS of juice in general, for power options.
Maybe a Cadillac alt, since its a GM? Or an Impala police vehicle alt, might also be able to be fitted??

Just look under auto-electric in the Yellow Pages and go to work (I like Dg auto electric...various locations...hint)
A LOT cheaper than buying a new unit, too..

 

I can build alts',a gm cs144@ 175amps hot,stalls the alt tester at full field.i can also externally regulate any unit.

 

is this guy in canada?


i cannot just go somewhere to get it rewound because i tried caling people and asking them and they said they could only rewind them to 140amps. thats why i asked.

 

i'm working on aquiring some 200 amp stators.i will know later today..i have a few cores on the shelf,and could sell you a "beefed up" alt...PM me

 

is www.excessiveamperage.com in canada? i got a price quote of 270 with shipping but i dont know if that is US currency. know any good places in the GTA?

 

You can get rewound alts for that application, call D.G. Auto Elelctric and double check.
I dont mean to harp on it or argue, but I got a 220 amp alt for a full-size GM quite easily from them. It was out of an older Impala SS cop car.

You'll save yourself a bunch of money

 

This is the guy to talk too...

I've tested a couple of his alt's and nearly destroyed my test bench...175 amps at 14 volts....crazy man.... [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

excessiveamperage.com is in the US.

 

thanks. too bad money doesnt grow on trees...

 

Pfft, for 2 lousy kW even the 140 would be enough with a GOOD battery. I wouldn't worry about upping from the 105 unless you notice some serious current draw.
