Thread: GM small Alt ???

Tweet

Hey Dgas -

Delco CS130 is used on most early 90's GM with the 3.8L engine. Wrecking yards should have a ton of them.

Are you familiar with Alan Grove Components? His website has some good infor on what you're asking about, see here: http://www.alangrovecomponents.com/Important_Info.htm
Then go to the Chev short pump link and look at page 2, the model 209L, click the dimensions button, it will show you the dimensions you're looking at. Given depth of field issue in the picture you put up, I can't tell for sure but it looks like you might still have issues with that crossmember.
One other alternative is an import alt, they're even smaller still. Here's a pic of one I've used that comes from a Kubota tractor (though these are real common so could be available in lots of places, it's just that the tractor uses a V belt pulley rather than serpentine style). It's a one wire internal reg type.
