What year Buick Turbo?

Ramchargers has them for $500 or so for the 86-87 cars.

And I think $200 or so for the '85s.

I cobbled an 85 model I bought by mistake to work on the '87 but I don't recommend it.

May be others out there as well.

Your best bet, or what I have done before is take yours apart, send off the housing and have either chromed, or powder coated.
It's a whole lot cheaper! Just don't forget to slide a little paper clip in the back housing to hold the braushes in when you pull the thing apart......ask me how I know about that..

Try Summit and the "Powermaster" series ... come in either polished or chrome. I had part numbers last year but never bought it.... was around $200 at that time.

If you want top-quality show-chrome, taking it apart and having it done by a top-notch place is the best way to go.

I sent my alternator to these guys. http://www.hotrodlane.cc/

Street And Performance polished the case and then chromed it. Came out perfect and they reassembled it. They can rebuild them as well. Believe it was in the $200 range but that was a few years ago. Highly recommended.
