    I have a 1972 Buick skylark my alternator died and I’m looking for a replace that is high output for a lot of music that’s installed in my car, or can I have my current one rebuilt to higher amps it was a high output alternator I got from the stereo store years ago so it’s better than stock. Any info much appreciated, anyone know if JS alternators are of good quality I seen them on Facebook

    Do you have a part# for a 12si alternator, I also need more power with an electric fuel pump and amp playing my volts drop down to around 10-11

    Stock was 94 amps. Just do a google search.
    also: https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/alternative-alternators.44117/
    and: http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/delcoremy.shtml
    from MAD:
    12SI, 94 amp, at 3:00 (AC-DELCO # 321-266, Lester #7294-3)
    Tell the auto parts counter person that “The alternator is for a 1984 High performance Chevy Camaro, with 5.0L (305G) engine, 94amp alternator

    12SI, 94 amp, at 9:00 (AC-DELCO # 321-269, Lester #7294-9)
    Tell the auto parts counter person that “The alternator is for a 1985 Buick Riviera, 5.0L (307Y engine), with Heavy Duty options and Air Conditioning.”
