<VV> Re: ALTERNATORS - CS 130 vs. SI 10

[Ed Dowds]

Hank beat me to it- I wouldn't recommend a CS 130 for anything. I've had 
three cars that had them as standard and have had to replace a total of 9 or 
10 so far. I've gotten to the point of being able to do the swap in ten 
minutes or less!
On the other hand I've had an SI 10 (the first style GM internally regulated 
alt) in my street rod since 1976. I've NEVER had a problem with it. I 
changed the brushes in it once just as a part of the car's overhaul not 
because I had to. The SI series is an easy swap for corvairs.
