CS130 and CS130D

[montessgtp]

Ok These are 2 delco remy Alternators rated at 105 Amps? Does anyone know if this is the alternator that comes in the 3.4 DOHC?
I cant find parts # on either to match them up.

CS130 - 105 Amp 84-93
CS130d- 105 amps 94+

I wanted a stronger alternator in my 3.4 DOHC, I was lookin at the CS130 but i think they came stock in 3.4 DOHC if anyone knows anything bout this let me know beforei make a 200$ mistake.

the CS130 uses an external fan and was used up through 93 on the DOHC. The CS130D was used on 94+ DOHCs. It has an internal fan on it. You cannot swap the two without changing the wiring harness for it. THey both put out the same amps. its just a matter of what year car you have.

Wow, that is a pretty good article to read. I have heard of a Mr. Cool kit for our alternators that replaces the rear half of the alt, which is thicker and has cooling fins around the outside, IIRC. Maybe someone here could shed some light on this.
