stock alternator bearing

[Steve Wood]

This unit was installed on the following cars:

1996-94 Buick Roadmaster 5.7L, 1996-93 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham (RWD) 5.7L, 1996-93 Chevrolet Caprice 4.3L& 5.7L, 1996-95 Chevrolet Impala 5.7L, 1995-92 Chevrolet Lumina APV Van 3.8L, 1995-92 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3.8L, and the 1995-92 Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8L
This alternator was also installed on police cars, and fleet vehicles such as taxis where normal operation may include lots of non-moving use with heavy radio traffic.
 It is listed as a Lester no. 8112 which may be helpful at wrecking yards, or such places.

I don't have alky installed on this car yet, so I can't go out and to a data run and see where it would be at. 
I'd like to see what my voltage is doing with that alky pump running.
If that 140amp impala alternator will bolt right up, I have no problem getting one being their only a hundred bucks.  and a acdelco at that, although their probably built in mexico.
I would still install new bearings in my stocker and just box and shelf it with its other stock removed parts.

gonna continue on with putting in new bearings and monitor for needing more amps if that becomes the case

[Steve Wood]

that is wise.  There will be something else that you need more
