Probably the reason no one answers is because they don't know. I know my alt pretty well (93) but I'm clueless to the others. I'de just ask to see the alternator your thinking of getting next to the one you have in your car now. If the mounts and plugs are the same, your prabably good. If not.......it is probably possible but fabbing up coustom mounts and finding a good wiring diagram in order to connect all the wires correctly would be a huge pain.

Well they are pretty much the same..as for the mounts thats no biggie....i can hit up the wrecker and get the stock ones out of a 95 but there are some differnces in the alternators that inm unsure of..ie:

Off of the bosch site.:
AL8591X Reman Alternator CS130; Amps: 105; Internal Regulator; Clock Position: 7:00; Pulley: {1254}; DELCO; 12V; Clock-Wise Rotation Locate Retailer
that is for my stock alternator...
AL8707X Reman Alternator CS130D; Amps: 105; Internal Regulator; Clock Position: 2:00; Pulley: {1280}; DELCO; 12V; Clock-Wise Rotation
so the real differnces other then the shape is the clock position which i have no clue what that is and the pulley which i can just change over to my stock on if they are differnt..does anyone know of a company that makes high output alts for a 95 sunfire???phil
