This is kind of tricky on my part, but you will survive. I am doing my inventory right now and have a couple of CS130 ACSE Lightning Series alternators that I have had in stock for awhile. So I am going to give one away.
The alternator is based on the GM CS130 series alternators. It has 190+amps output at full speed. It does NOT have good low speed output. About 25amps at 800rpm, 50amps at 900rpm, 100+ amps at 1000rpm. So it is only suitable for an older style motor (carbed) where your idle should be 1000/900rpm. It currently has a Chevy mount, but I will put a Ford mount front housing on it. You will still need to make a 1" spacer for the top mounting spool. all in all it is not a hard install. This alternator is a one wire unit, meaning you only need to hook it up to a battery, no regulator connection, to make it work. CB member price for the alternator is usually around $140US (sometimes when I am in a good mood I give you a bigger discount, LOL) It retails for over $200.00US
Now who should I give it too? Well I have a plan (the tricky part). We all have seen the "Hubby in Iraq...." thread for several months. Many people have donated to it. It is set to be revealled in less than 10 days. There is still a ton of work to be done to it, and lots of parts as well. They are also trying to spruce of the reveal for all the camera crews, and the possiblitiy of the Governor showing up. And it would be nice to give the guy who is doing the hundreds of hours of work to complete this a thank-you gift. Bottomline is the project needs an infusion of cash to get done, and to represent this community properly.
So here is my plan. anyone making a donation from 8:00 this morning to 6pm the day before the reveal is eligable to win the alternator. It does not matter the size of your donation, all will be eligable (cash or parts count). Contact me for a link to the secret site where you can make the donation via a paypal button.
There are also many parts still needed, so if you want to find what is needed, here is a direct link to the thread: http://www.classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68356
Now some of you might not be jumping at this because you are against the war and all. If it means anything I am against it myself. But this is not about the war. This is about a person (representing all the troops) that was willing to give his/her life for you. Soldiers don't get a choice about who they fight, that decision is made by the people you put in power. So to me this is a great way to say thank-you to the troops.
Getting off soap box. Don't need an alternator. Oh well, you should be making a donation anyway. My thought is you can dump the unit on Ebay if you want, or better yet donate it to the Seabisciut fundraiser. Then you would have helped two people.
This is a great project, and the last thing that needs to happen is it comes up a couple of nickels short.
