I would Like to see pictures of the one you installed, maybe when I did it I mised something..

I ended up upgrading my alternator internals and going with LEDs helps
I edited my original post an added in a photo of the late style CS144 mounted. It fit just fine in my 1990 I'm totally kicking myself for not taking side by side photos though. I've got to get better at photo documenting this stuff to post.

I thought the only difference between the early and late CS144 was the case back where the bearing mounts. The way I understood the readings is that later versions were beefed up and the bearing shows through the case versus sitting inside the case as was on the original versions.
