Has anyone replaced the alternator to one with integrated regulator?
Is there any specific model that is bolt on?
I know I have to bypass the external regulator.
Aahh found a thread about it....

Any 12SI family alternator bolts in. I've got a CS130 on my 62 (using the 1963 alternator bracket). Use the CS130 from a 1989-1990 Olds Custom Cruiser with 307, which has the correct mounting ears and a V-belt pulley.

It seems to be hard to find parts to custom cruiser 1989-90 here in Sweden, googled for a while now. And any CS130 I find to other models seems to be 100+ amps, and quite expensive compared to 10si. I would prefer 60-80 amps if possible.
Do you know which car models to look for, if I decide to go with a 10si? I assume there are some different models of the 10si as well?
The v-belt pulley from original, does it fit 10si?

My alternator is 105A. It's not a problem. The problem is that there are at least three different CS130 case configurations. Only one of them bolts to the 215 alternator bracket - the version used on the 307 motors. The ones designed for serpentine drive systems definitely do not have the lugs in the right places. The 10SI/12SI has been used on every GM from the early 1970s through the late 1980s, and probably on some other brands as well.

Looked for it at rockauto and found this one, acdelco partnumber 3342293.
Googled on the part number and found this;
So if I find one that fits one of the cars above it should work for my car?
I see this one don’t have the v-belt pulley. Do you know if it’s possible to swap my v-pulley to a “serpentine model alternator”?

Once again, the RockAuto online catalog is NOT a reliable source of information. The photo shows the actual alternator. Note that it comes with a V-belt pulley. In fact, if you look at their catalog on a real computer instead of a phone, note that the listing says "Pulley 1V". I'll also point out that right below that 85A rebuilt is a 105A brand new version for less money. That's the one I have, FYI.

Ok thanks 🙏 (I hate these small screens 😝
I noticed that one below also, but wasn’t sure about it as it didn’t mention “CD130”. But if that’s the same one it’s a better choice of course👍
l will check more on my computer...
