Dropped off the pattern, should have a sample back in a few days... we'll see how it fits, refine if required, and then hopefully blast a bunch of these out.

Sweet! I've been eye-balling higher amp alts for a while and the options seem to be really limited. The 130 Tundra alt is a nice option.
How about a group buy on the 150Amp alternator?
Who would the group buy be running through?
Definitely up for one... would do two but my '91 has an LT1

Yep, one more sold, please.
Id love one...more power MORE POWER!
I had both the 130A and the 150A alternators tested at a friends shop and the 130A put out 146 amps. The 150A put out 160 amps. The 150A I had done a rebuild with new bearings and new brushes. The testing was done at speed not at idle. My friend wanted me to see the readout from where I was standing so he lifted the safety shield, the belt flew off and gave the old beard a trim. I was going to ask him to try to test at an idle speed but somehow with getting the facial hair removed I forgot.
Another fwiw, I took the alternator apart to make a puller for the one bearing and to be able to powdercoat both housing parts. This requires grinding off copper connections which I later had to WELD together. Just a heads up.

Picked up a 130 amp alternator from a Tundra V8 at Graham's Auto in Calera, AL. Price was $75 plus a little tax. Here's the website for those who may be interested: http://www.grahamsauto.com/direx.html.
Quick question.....
Is it not possible to have the stock Alt. that we have in our cruisers re-wound to put out this amperage? I have no clue, but was told that you could just have your alternator rewound for higher output???
