My alternator died so I thought I would see if anyone had a chrome one for sell.
 
I have a PowerMaster brand 180 amp that I just had rebuilt a couple of months ago. I replaced it with a new AC Delco stock style ($110 shipped) and haven't yet put the chrome one back on.

I couldn't sell it for what I have in it, especially with shipping.

I see them at Summit and Jeg's for very similar prices, about $200 with shipping. Might want to try that route. New part with a warranty.......

If it's used, chrome and it's for sale, there's probably a reason....... ;)

As Turbolou always tells me, "Chrome won't get you home."............ Ergo the "rebuilt" part of my comment about the chrome one. It didn't even have 1000 miles on it.

There is a chrome alternator kit you can buy. Do a google search for "Grand national chrome alternator kit"
 
I called summit and they gave me 2 prices for my car. $389 & $279. Didn't feel like paying that and those were 160 amp.

I will check into the kit.
 
Kirban has an alt guy check with him maybe he can whip something up for you.. You'll know quick Dennis doesn't drag his feet
 
You can purchase just the chrome cases from summit

I called summit. They don't have the correct case kit for a turbo buick.
Turbo 6 performance had a kit listed on website but you can't order it. I sent them a message. They said the chrome case has been discontinued.
Looks like we might be S.O.L. on the kit but I think you can buy a complete chrome alternator from them.

The holy grail

It's from Tuff Stuff Performance. That part number is 7290NA6G.
Note: The case has to be reclocked but it's pretty simple to do.

Garnering from his first post, I think the OP was somewhat "budget limited"...... ergo his interest in a used item......

What is the price and amperage for this piece you speak of, seemingly made of "unobtainium"? ;):)
