Little Help with replacing Alternator
I know there are threads past... but I need some help regarding what I alternator I should buy. I'm having my uncle who is a mechanic at a dealer not too far from me drop it in and pick it up for me. I want the AC Delco 140 amp but last night whenever I called him he said he would need the number off my current alternator to figure out the replacement. He said there are a few for the 96' Bonneville that vary in size and he just wants to be 100% before we go any further. He said if I couldn't get the number off the Alt. to give him my VIN number.
Can any of you give me suggestions on this. I want him to get it for me, install it etc... just so I know it'* covered and who to go back to if I have problems(rather return to family than a stranger who will refuse to help.)
Thanks and I appreciate your time!

We have several running here. I'm running a 160 amp, and SSEi95 is running a 200. Great alts, great warranty.

The alternator is really easy to change on these cars. It is literally a 10 minute job. Basic hand tools are needed(wrenches, or ratchet wrench) and the hardest part I encountered in doing it was getting enough leverage to move the belt tensioner to remove the belt.
