Title: Alternator
Post by: teal32 on May 03, 2007, 06:26:13 PM
I'm going to replace my 140 amp, 1 wire alternator on the '40 Chevy with a chrome one. I have been looking at Tuff Stuff and Powermaster. Was wondering which way to go. I'll probably replace the a/c compressor with chrome too. Where are the best prices. Would like to save a couple of bucks, to spend on the $3.20 gas later on.

I just ripped the generator and old voltage regulator out of my 55 Pontiac and tossed them in the outhouse. I went with the chrome 1 wire Powermaster. I like it. Had to redo the brackets somewhat but it was worth it.

keep an eye out on Ebay. I picked up a 110 amp for a good price, I don't recall offhand what price for sure. I think about $110 shipped and this for polished aluminum
