So i have researched on here but alot of what im seeing is 95 up, not much on the 88-94

I have the factory 105amp cs130 rpo code k60 alternator. From some research i found a direct replacement 220 amp, no pigtail wiring needed. However there out of stock

The manufacturer is DB electrical. I have used them before, on winch motors & solenoids. Have any of you used one of these, and confirm that no extra wiring / modification need to be done ?

I wonder if the 91-93 caprice 9c1 polic package high output alternators would work? Been a while since I've seen their serpentine set up though.

Rock auto has the cs130 and ad244 design.. in serpentine pulley. I dont mind having to put longer bolt / elongating hole if thats all it is to go with 244; or getting a different plug. Ive never heard of the wai brand tho.

CS144. yes they should work, i would try and get the adapter bracket they use..you will need to get a longer serpentine belt.

MOST "new" alternators (and starters, water pumps, etc.) are Communist Chinese knockoffs with questionable reliability/performance.

I would do my alternator shopping at the Treasure Yard; and if I couldn't find what I wanted, I'd be in a local parts store looking for a "rebuilt" with a good warranty. At least with a "rebuilt" the main parts were likely OEM-quality even if some of the typical repair parts are low-budget imported stuff.

CS130 is a good, but CS130d is better, Cs144 is ok, AD230 and AD244 are best. There is also bosch, denso alts but finding the one with the right ear would be more complicated. if you get a cs130d or ad230/44 you need a diffferent pigtail, a cs130 and cs144 share plugs.
