What part of the Alternator makes for a higher AMP rating

[Blown&Injected]

I got the rebuild kit that is sold by the TurboBuickS.com people and the bearing failed. So I just bought a Pep Boys unit and was thinking about using the windings in the Pep Boys unit.

Am I wasting my time?

What are the proper terms for all the parts in there. I am pretty sure about the brushes and windings.

Thanks,

Why not just replace the bad bearing? As far as the proper names of the parts, look here:

That is for a CS-130/121 model but it is similar to our CS-144's.

When the bearing failed it messed up some other stuff.

Thanks for the link - When I actually go there I will be better about comments like "other stuff."

I'll be a little rusty but,

Rotor (Part that spins)
Stator (Windings)
Diode trio
Bridge
Regulator
Brushes, bearings and retainers......

I believe the output is determined by both the rotor and stator assemblies.

Thanks James,

The rotor seemed to me to be a crucial part when it comes to making power but the kit does not include that. I wonder how much just adding the stator does to increase output

It actually depends on the current increase over stock 120Amps.

Since more current is flowing in the circuitry sometimes you need a heavier duty rectifier and regulator assembly.

Stator is usually the major upgrade with heavier windings.
