I have a CS130 in my '55 Bel Air and intended to buy one for my GTO too. Last week, I found a place online called Quick Start Alternator and gave them a call to order one. He said he sells them but said he doesn't like them at all and said they were GM's "junk" alternator. He talked me it to buying a hybrid that he builds using the best parts from 3 different alternators. It sounded like a great option and I ordered it. I received it today and just mounted it up.

I ordered the 105A version since that is plenty for what I need. I'm now wondering if I should change out the CS130 I have in my Bel Air for one of these.
