Alternator For 327 Corvette Motor


Recommended Posts

Posted

Alright, I bought a brand new alternator for my 88 silverado and I found out this is the wrong alternator. The alternator I bought is for the original motor that should be in the truck, but the motor that is in my truck right now is a 327 motor out of a corvette. I knew this was the wrong alternator because the mounts on the alternator don't line up to the mounting brackets on the motor. And so I am wanting to get a alternator for a 327 motor and I will trade this alternator for one. This alternator is brand new, never used. I mounted it in the motor, and it doesn't line up with the brackets, so I need to get the right one, and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out. Let me know please anyone. I really want to get my truck running.

I can't take a picture of the alternator because I don't have the right one. I bought a brand new alternator and found out its the wrong one. So I can't get a picture of it, but if you could, post pictures of the alternators for a 327 chevy motor, that would help me out and give me a picture of what the alternator looks like, that is if you can.

327?

What year is this motor? Are you using the 88 truck brackets? I wanted a pic of the wrong alt. I have two new rebuilts one with the mounting bolt holes at 6 and 12 oclock and the other one is at like 6 and 10 oclock. Send me a pic to my e-mail of the wrong alt and one of where it is mounted to the engine.

Oh, this motor isn't a 327, its a 1988 350 v-8, so I do have the right alternator, but I think the motor has the wrong brackets, or its missing 2 brackets. I just need a picture or two of the alternator from a 88 silverado with a 350 V-8 in it, so I can look at how the alternator is mounted and what the mounting brackets look like.

    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
    • Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday. 
    • I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
