Alternator Rebuilder or High-Amp New Unit
My alternator is not dead yet! 12.4-12.75v at 2-3K rpm! I will be thinking about just replacing the regulator, but...
to be on the safe side, I am open to everything being 'kinda' new. So, does anyone recommend a reputable rebuilder in the Ventura/LA County areas? Thanks. Also, has anyone bought and used the new high-amp alternators our sponsor carries? |

I do not know the specs. I just thought it would be an upgrade if I were to buy a new one.

Any armature place can rebuild it. THey are not that complicated. I would take it off yourself and install it yourself.

Cab: Call Foreign Alternator and Starter in Northridge. I had mine rebuilt there two years ago for $75. It's a hole in the wall shop, but the guy knew what he was doing and, so far, it's been working perfectly.
818 772-1700 (near the corner of Reseda and Parthenia, IIRC.)

Local autoparts stores can get rebuilt ones. Autolite supplies rebuilt Bosch units for around a hundred bucks.
