Thumbs up Re: alternator

Depends on how many amps you want really. I've done all my trucks and my 64 SS Impala with this setup. Works great.

84 Buick Riviera 94 amp alternator has plenty of juice. Fits in the factory mounts on drivers side of motor.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: alternator

Welcome to the board!

I bought the one Andy mentioned above, internally regulated 94 amp Riviera from OReilly. I couldn't be happier with it!

Re: alternator

I believe mine is for a 87 S10 not 100% sure but it's a 3 wire internally regulated.

That's the one I buy! There are others I just stick to this one since it works.

Re: alternator

The 1 Andy mentioned is a good 1 to get. Easy to replace if need b. As long as u don't need alot of amps for things like a stereo,off road lights, power everything. Your lights will burn brighter than what u have with the old 1 now.
