Chrome Alternator

[iflights]

Does anyone have a recommendation on a specific source for a chromed version of an alternator that fit our cars. I normally wouldn't bother, but the previous owner chromed most of the engine components...excepting the alternator. Now that has gone bad, and I might as well replace it with a chromed version if at all possible.

Jegs and parts sites I've found have chromed CS130-like alternators for instance, but none that indicate specific fitment to a D. If you've had success with someone please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

When all else fails, check eBay.

The majority of GM alternators will not fit the existing bracket, unfortunately. You would need a custom bracket to fit the standard GM 2" ear mount, which is what almost everything on Summit features, as well as the posted eBay listing. I had Matt (Drive Stainless) make me a custom adapter for my car but I don't think he was interested in making any more.

Thanks everyone.

I had noticed that the mounting ears were different on the eBay option as well as what I could easily locate online i.e. Jegs or Summit. If its going to require a custom mount, I just don't have the patience or time to source something custom.
