i went to harrys and got an alternator for $16. but here is the thing.. out of all the 1500 cars there in the yard only one car had a 140 amp alternator. it was a 95 sle i believe and the alternator was just sitting on top of the windshield fluid tank... already pulled and ready i figured... so i looked at the motor to see why the alternator was just taken off and thrown there. but the whole engine was intact execpt the alternator and ignition coils... the alt had some rust on the pulley so i thought thats why they left it.. so i took it home and ran the pn # off the alt on google and came back as a cadilac alternator. ?

so does anyone no what if these #,* are a bnneville alt or cadilac?

10480227 140 amp
01551 12v negative


this is what the alternator says that i grabbed.. so i dont no if someone took if off and left it or if they took the bonnie alternator and left the caddy alt....

10480227 Cross references to AC-Delco part number 334-2457

That part number comes up for all these cars....

thanks bro your amazing.. the alternator fit perfect and works great....

www.gmpartsdirect.com or www.acdelco.com are the two sites we can plug part numbers into and get back compatibility information.

Wish I knew this for my GMC Yukon, had a half-breed. '94 was when GM was swapping more stuff to electronics than in previous years, screwed it all up, replacing EGR purge selonoid- no numbers matched and only one that looked like it was from '89-90 GM trucks. O2 sensors crossed to and looked like '96, and GM stamped EGR numbers didnt cross with anything, not even ones for the generic "universal" units . Parts nightmare.... said screw it and got a Bonne, hopefuly wont have the same problem!

In that case..take your vin to a GM dealer and the parts counter can look up every piece from your build info.
