Fascinating. I was born in the late 60s so i learned and fiddled with and got really good working on and with the early generation GM and Mopar alternators, and heavy duty agricultural and military alternators like the "real" Leece-Neville large and heavy stuff. I never had much liking for any of the alternators that FoMoCo made or used. Never seen a "CS" alternator before but now thar I'm getting back into automotive and mechanical projects I'm glad to know of the CS, looks like it could be handy to use on some future retrofits, where something more compact might be handy.
I'm still having a bit of a mind-bend believing that something that compact can output 130 amps or more and not melt, but I guess that's progress. But I kind of like the old big bombproof stuff in its own right. Again, thanks for sharing your time and knowledge.
That last wire you said was pulse and was used for diagnostics sometimes but you had never seen hooked up-isn’t that also used in some situations to give rpm signal like maybe in diesels? Not an exact rpm (or maybe, idk) but just basically a confirmation the engine is running. Seems I recall seeing that remote car starter or alarms are sometimes hooked to that to confirm the engine has started (as an input back into the remote starters control module). You must be like me, I figure out how things actually work, so I can adapt anything from a totally different vehicle/engine to whatever project I’m working on. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I don’t suppose you can change something on your camera to get rid of the shakes? I’m afraid I will have a stroke before the end Thanks for all your content!

Hahaha... I do have my cheap camera set on anti shake mode. But I guess my hand shakes so much that you still see it. I'll invest in a tripod someday
😮👍👍
Q: where can I get the plug that connects to it ? Mines didn’t come with it!
Go to the autoparts store and ask for an alternator connector for a 1990 Chevy pickup.
Hi sir@@raysoto1969
vary cool
forgot to mention TACK
Ah yes, I just recently learned the green wire is for GM diesel trucks for the tachometer
