Holley's premium alternator is built to tolerate 30% higher RPM than a conventional alternator, with a sculpted all-aluminum housing and cast internals engineered for cleaner, more efficient output. Made in the USA, it uses the same core technology GM adopted for the 2014-and-later Corvette, wrapped in a housing that polishes clean without buffer marks in tight corners.
