Re: Removing alternator housing
Is that metal shavings I see inside of the blower housing and at the base of the LIM?
Back when I hand built amplifiers, I used one of those soldering irons that looked like the pencil type on steriods, and for the connection to the 1/0 wire, a standard propane torch like used for plumbing jobs.:eek:
btw I was searching some of the forums I belong to, for the step by step on tearing apart the alternator that I've seen. For those that mess up theirs, have a bad one that needs replacing etc. A place called Afterthoughts does chromed 160 amp alternators or powdercoating if that is what you chose. Ill go back and see if I can find the thread, since it had a picture of the chromed one on a wbody.

I'm sure everything from the LIM on would find it tasty too. Engine Metamucil.:D

Re: Removing alternator housing
Sorry I should have posted a link to where the alternator came from, althought it looks a lot like a Farnsworth project.
High Output Alternator (160 AMP GM)
Re: Removing alternator housing
Wow, 210 bucks. Guess it would be worth it if you need that kind of output.
Re: Removing alternator housing
arent the 9c1 impala alternators 140 amps?
may not help in the disassembly area, but would be a less expensive option for more oomph
Re: Removing alternator housing
Hmmm, that may be worth looking into.

125 amp in the 9c1 iirc, but yes it help those looking to upgrade anyway. Apparently for a chrome version you have to call them first.

hrmm.. i was thinking 140 in the 9c1... perhaps im wrong -- if turbocharged406sbc chimes in, he should know--- i still cant believe that he cut up a perfectly good VERY low mileage L26 out of an 04 9c1 -- cut it in to thin slabs :eek:
lol tho he did manage to take just about EVERY single useable piece from that 9c1.

I just checked the Impala site and 9c1 is 125 and the stock 3.8 got the 102. I heard the SS got the 125, but I cant confirm that...yet...:( 102 stock.

I only know the Impala stuff and not very well at that.
Re: Removing alternator housing
Is there any place to get the 9C1 alternator for a good price?

125 amp alternator Bosch
This price is almost as much as the 160 amp from Afterthoughtsauto though. I had better luck googling 2004 Impala SS alternator since there were police Impalas in the mid 90's.
One of the Impala guys bought the Bosch alternator and loves it, although I believe he purchased a higher amp one. His comments were comparing the Delco to the Bosch.
