Cool!! Hmmm... when I replaced it, I did the battery (which wasn't too old) and the alternator at the same time... for all I know, it could be just fine... I hope it is! Looks great with that pulley!!

Rectifier was shorted out and you could tell by looking at rear of Alternator where you can see the Rectifier. Ebay.....is sending me a new rectifier

Apparently someone dropped a screw or otherwise shorted out the rectifier from the rear

It be a 130 amp Alternator which is very nice

I thought it would have least been a 200amp and I thought seriously about buying it

I was only thinking ..... talking requires higher level of thought.

To be honest with the Corsa and Street Shop rear upgrade it was just another project that I could not afford to take on to be honest

This will be a great Alternator to photograph it all apart (like it is now) and assembly in a week or so with identification of all the parts

Front Housing, Armature, Pulley, Bearings, Stator, Terminals, Commutator, Voltage Regulator, Brushes, Rectifier, Rear Housing.

All the Parts to Alternators are available on Ebay.

And ....and.....MCH-208 Pulley installed.

I will start a new thread just for the fun of it.....will call it.....Alternator Restoration

Back to t5irocz as we kind of interrupted his parts for sale (he is adding more this weekend) so I guess we are keeping the thread alive.

I do have a couple other parts that I found tonight. I'll try to take some more pics tomorrow:
-"Corvette" embossed clear sill covers - $20
-New GM air filter cover - $35 - same dimensions as the original one to my car but also has a factory dust shield
-Brand new NOS GM windshield weatherstripping (the one that always gets tattered on C4s). New in the box. I bought this 15+ years ago and never used it. I will look up my slips to figure out when I spent on it, that will be the price.

Thank you all again for the interest in the parts and the purchases! Anything paid for today will ship out tomorrow.

t5irocz.......I can delete all my Alternator Posts as you like....I just got excited a bit over its great condition

Haha i'm just super happy that you like it!! Thank you again so much for buying it! Glad you were able to figure out the issue quickly!

The NOS oil filters are now all sold! Most of what I originally posted is now gone (Thank you all!!!)

I have more that I found in my basement this week that I will post up for sale soon, stay tuned! This has been very helpful in getting my basement organized for the winter and I appreciate it, Thanks again everyone!

On the Ebay rectifier it suggests it is 130 amps. I searched until I found an identical appearing rectifier and will let you know if it works

The Stator Core has three wires that connect to the Rectifier. I guess the Stator Core determines Amps (also depending on Rotor/Rotor speed) but it is more complex than that and when I get this Alternator back together I will just have it bench tested

All Parts are on Ebay if you know which Alternator you have. Brushes, Rectifiers, Regulators. Prolly Staters, and bearings as well.

On this Chrome Alternator it was suggested it is Powerhouse Alternator and my local expert suggested it could be almost anything with some Powerhouse Components. I know the Brushes which are new on this Alternator I did find identical on Ebay under Powerhouse.

On this Alternator we found the Rectifier was burnt to a crisp on two diodes as someone dropped a screw or something on rear of alternator. My guy suggested to check the Stator Wiring for burning also which I did and which wiring was perfect so Rectifier was apparently just grounded itself. The Bearings, Brushes, Stator, commutator, and Voltage Regulator all appeared to be new.

Oh....and apparently O'Reilly's will test an alternator if you bring it in (off the car).
