I'm about to install a new radiator and cooling system and will be adding electric fans. I need a better alternator to handle that extra load. This is on an 88 with TBI and has a serpentine pulley on the alternator that is mounted on the passenger side. Is there a "factory" option I can grab at the junkyard or a known part number I can grab from Amazon?
 
iirc mid 90's buick roadmaster will fit with minor adjustments. 140 amp and has serp belt pully
 
Ooh that would be cool. By minor adjustments do you mean clocking the case or grinding here and there? (Easy stuff)
 
yeah, and i think the spacer on the bottom bolt will need a mod. any hoses or wires between the alt and valve cover will need to be moved. It's big, deeper than si10
