Thanks 87lc2/wo2 ... For your reply... I found the one from grandnational specialties
NEW 86-87 GRAND NATIONAL TTA 200 AMP CHROME ALTERNATOR $304.00
The Powermaster Alternator, Internal Regulator, 200 Amp, Chrome $439.00
I have to see whats the differance between the 2 other that the price.
Anyone have some insight on this? Why so much of a differance in price?
Thanks
 
Most alternator rebuild places can order you a chrome case to fit the TR alternator. That's what I did.

That is the RJC pulley and nut.

The only difference in price is what you pay him to middleman the alternator from a place you can buy it from in the first place. All he does is makes an ebay store, marks up his prices to exorbitant amounts, and then you place the order he pays the orignal seller his price and puts your address on the order and they send the parts directly to you and he takes your money for that.

For example here is an alternator terminal cap. His price $9.95 + $5.05 shipping which is $15.:eek:

Same cap from a site supporting vender. gbodyparts.com $3.50 + probably $2.00 shipping.

So if that's his mark up on small items imagine what the difference is expensive items would be.

Here's his responce to the Buick community when we called him out on it. It's also the reason he's not a member here anymore.

You can get the alternator from SEperformance but I've been hearing bad things about them lately.

You can also buy it from here.

Both options are cheaper than gnspecialties.

Or you can get a chrome turbo cover.

It's your choice but I just wanted to giving some insight on where your planning on spending your hard earned money.
