Always better to throw out too much info rather than too little, says I! It's easier to ignore too much than to find more!

 

Yes, I'm in the middle of learning a lot about GM alternators. My '87 chassis came with a CS130, and I tried to retrofit my super duty 10SI off the 79. After much research, I instead chose to put a 200 Amp (yes, 200 amp!) CS144 in and am completely redoing the wiring for that. The tow van will have 2 Taurus radiator fans, a fan on one of the tranny coolers, full time quad headlights, extra fog lights, a couple thousand watts of stereo, and 3 batteries.... 200 amps seemed about right :wacko:

 

A great resource for understanding GM alternators is Mark at M.A.D. Enterprises. Great guy, very knowledgable, sells very nice electrical kits to install SI and CS alternators. They come with small books to tell you all you need to know!
