Woundering if any of the interior bucket seats plus rear seat and lower rear trim peices are still for sale?

No alternator cross referencing?


May help:

· In 1992, GM made some revisions to the CS144 series and added a new model rated at 140 amps.
· Note that this unit is capable of approximately 105 amps at 800 engine rpm (~2240 alternator shaft rpm) which some 30 amps more at idle than our original units.
· This unit was installed on the following cars:
1996-94 Buick Roadmaster 5.7L,
1996-93 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham (RWD) 5.7L,
1996-93 Chevrolet Caprice 4.3L& 5.7L,
1996-95 Chevrolet Impala 5.7L,
1995-92 Chevrolet Lumina APV Van 3.8L,
1995-92 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3.8L,
1995-92 Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8L
This alternator was also installed on police cars, and fleet vehicles such as taxis where normal operation may include lots of non-moving use with heavy radio traffic.
It is listed as a Lester no. 8112 which may be helpful at wrecking yards, or such places.
· This model is a standard stock item at major parts stores like Autozone and Napa.
It is also available new online from most reputable online dealers.
Prices generally range from $130-$170 although I have seen it for less.
It pays to shop around.
This unit is a direct bolt on when used on our cars.
It will work with our wiring assuming that it is in good shape when simply being used as a stock replacement.

· The 140 amp unit off the 95-96 Impala is a direct plug and play.
I bought mine brand new so I would have a lifetime warranty from Napa.
I also upgraded the positive and negative ground wires from the wimpy stock stuff to 2 gauge and 4 gauge wires.
No issues- ever!

· A lot of people are using the 140 amp units off of late model (94-96) Caprices/Roadmasters.

The bolt pattern/ wiring is essentially the same as the TR.
 
Awesome!!! Thanks!!

Are they on both the LT1 versions and the TBI versions of the Roadmaster and Caprice? Does it even matter? Because those cars are everywhere in the bone yard I go to.

Not quite sure exactly.
I might try to cross reference using O'Reilly's or some such part finder.
Let me look in a bit

The cars that get overlooked are those Luminas, TransSports, and Silhouettes
There were such garbage new - there are a ton in the yards.
You would not think of them as a donor for a G-body
