I have a local guy that has been doing them for years and knows all the correct colored diodes whatever. $90.00 for my Camaro and got it back in 2 days. $250.00 for an alternator, $200.00 for a starter, $200.00 for your distributor another couple hundred for your rad cap that's crazy money IMO!</div></div>

No kidding. My shop in TX charges $48.50 to do the alt, and the case. I plate the pulleys, fans,nuts. washers,ect myself.

$48.50 shipnent from Pa. to Dallas done.

Re: Alternator resto
 

At 48.00 one day shipping, Im guessing he doesnt get many real 837s sent to him.

Re: Alternator resto
 

837's/834's all the same type work isn't it King?

Re: Alternator resto
 

No one is reskinning cases,stamping CZ on case,purtting in dated diodes or using nos when available ,and shellacking internal parts and using all plated hardware for 48.00 shipped lets not kid ourselves.

Re: Alternator resto

Save yourself a whole lot of money and just rebuild it in accordance with the Chilton's Motor manual. If you need more info PM me and I'll eMail you the how to info for free.

I've rebuilt my own alternators, starters and distributors since 1972. My Z/28 starter rebuild cost me $87 new armature included, my alternator was $35 and reconditioned the distributor was $56.

an excellent book for rebuilding all GM 1st and 2nd Generation Distributors is &quot;Camaro Owners Handbook by HP Books&quot;
