I'm going to ask Cliff to move this to How To Section....

The CS130 used on the 88 Fiero V6 is an upgrade to the earlier SI units.
It's more compact, better designed and better performance.
I have them on both my 87 GT V6 and my Indy's SD4 engine (pictured below)
They are a direct fit (mounting ears are 180 degrees apart) and only required a connector change.

Get the 88 V6 CS130 alternator - 105 amps (swap your pulley to it if needed).

Also see my Cave, Rabid-Wombat's CS-130 Conversion for 85-87 V6.
Older L4 use same parts but need to switch pulleys.

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
