CS 130 alternator swap... What cars came with this alternato

[Guest Night_rider_383]

I'm making out my junkyard shopping list. I will be taking a trip to a BIG cheap priced junkyard the weekend of Jan. 18.

I was thining about getting a few sc 130 alts. So I could use one on my 78 drag car, my 88 driver and have a spare or 3 just in case

What cars and years came out with this 105 amp CS-130 alternator?

I think chevy started useing them in 86 but thats all I can find out about the years and all.

Does anybody have a list or a link to a list that shows all the cars with this ALT?

Thanks

John

My '86 Trans Am tuned port setup has the older 12si alternator. Usually cars like the 'vette or cadillac received the newer components first. 88 and newer F bodies should have the cs130 alternator. I think it was this months Popular Hot Rodding that showed how to wire up a cs alternator using a resistor in the L terminal circuit to excite it.

most tpi cars have 100 plus amp alternators, and you can throw them over the fence pretty easy too.

Thanks guys. I'll check out some of the caddys and other late 80's EFI full size cars when I go..

 

At the $10.50 price I can get a bunch of em and sell the ones that don't work to an alt rebuilder here in town for $12.00-15.00 each..

 

I found all the wiring and bracket how to on some nova/chevy II site the other night, so I got all that info....

 

Thanks again guys
