I'm in the process of switching my D17 series 4 over to an alternator. The alternator that I have is too big to fit inside the cowling. What alternator do you guys recommend to use to fit inside cowling without having to cut it up to get the alternator to fit

WD45,160 6040,D14,D15,D17,D19,D21,and still looking for more

The old standard is the DELCO 10SI with internal regulator..

If you want one about 2/3 that size, you get the DENSO type, or "chevy mini".... prices range from $75. up to about $150. ............ this is on ebay... everyone sells these.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.
