Tony,
Here's a link to a series of photos of the stock 455 alternator setup:

Subject: [GMCnet] What high AMP Alternator are you using?
I have a stock Toronado 455 setup. However, is is not in a GMC.
The 455 in the GMC is the closest to what I am working on and dealing with.
It is in a 60's type RV that shares some issues and more than the GMC.
I personally would prefer to go DELCO.
I'm looking for something that is mainly a bolt in, yet bigger and better than the 12 SI.
WHY - I don't have the room that the GMC might have to relocate the Alternator.
FYI - I'm looking for no less than 140AMPS.
I'm thinking CS130, CS130D or even the CS144 - IF it will fit WITHOUT changing out the brackets.
WHY - Future plans = 3 electric cooling fans, 2 heater fans, electric fuel pump, Air Ride, HEI Distributor, Radio, TV, 2 computers
and all factory
lights.
QUESTIONS:
1. Does the GMC Motorhome 455 use the stock Toronado 455 Alternator bracket setup? OR was the bracket setup made for the GMC setup?
2. What is the largest AMP alternator you have been able to install in your GMC - WITHOUT - changing out the brackets?
3. IF you had to change the brackets
A. What Alternator did you use?
B. what did you end up having to do with the stock bracket setup?
Thank you for your help and time in this matter.
Tony
