Alternator rebuilder
 

I am looking for someone who can rebuild an alternator for a 1988 911, in North Carolina or Virginia.

I have a Bosch re-manufactured one from Advance Auto and would like to have it rebuild.

Send it to AutoLectrics in Campbell, CA

Starters , Alternators, generators, repair, replace, build

Many years of great service with this company. They do it right, first time.

Send to stellar generator in Pittsburgh. Call mark 412-563-2100. Tell him Gary sent you

Thanks, I found one local and will let him have a look at it.

make sure they use the pressed in diodes as the original as i was told that they handle the heat better than the external ones.

Got it back in and the light is still flickering on at idle. Voltage is 12.5 car off, and 14.3 at idle with the light flickering.

I checked the blue wire going to the gauge and everything looked good.

The light flickering at idle will drive me nuts.

where are you measuring the voltage? should be at the battery.
if that is 14.3 at idle, what is it at 2000?
if you are measuring 14.3 at the battery at idle you light should not be flickering.

I'm measuring at the battery, and yes the 14.3v is at idle.

I went to Advance Auto and let them check the battery and the charging system with their fancy machine. Light is still flickering at idle.

This was after a 20 minute drive
Battery results
voltage 12.85v
